Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed amendment to the approved development can be dealt with through an application under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

What decided it

Amending Condition 4 to allow parking permits would fundamentally conflict with the operative part of the original planning permission which was granted for a car-free development, making the amendment beyond the powers of section 73.
