Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development, without the condition in place, would be appropriate with regard to the development strategy for the area

What decided it
The permanent siting of the development would be inconsistent with the Council's demonstrable progress in delivering the Waterfront regeneration strategy and would cause unjustified harm to designated heritage assets, making a temporary condition necessary.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CS Policy CS17
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 202Paragraph 56
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
