Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal can be determined under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, with particular reference to the Finney Judgement and the Reid Judgement
- Whether condition 3 is reasonable and necessary in respect of the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether condition 3 is reasonable and necessary in respect of the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to an intensification of use and access
What decided it
The removal of condition 3 would permit occupation of the building as an independent dwelling, resulting in backland development harmful to local character and an unacceptable intensification of use and access adversely affecting neighbouring residential amenity.
