Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the disputed condition 3 is reasonable or necessary to protect the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the disputed condition 3 is reasonable or necessary to protect the living conditions of neighbours

What decided it

The restrictive conditions controlling the number of rooms, client numbers, hours of operation and clients on site at any one time would prevent intensification above domestic scale and protect both character and neighbouring amenity regardless of whether the osteopath was the householder or an external clinician.
