®Planning appeal decision
The Eagles Inn, Harley Road, Cressage, SY5 6DE
Planning appeal 3306565 at The Eagles Inn, Harley Road, Cressage, SY5 6DE (Shropshire County Council) was allowed on 9 May 2023 by Inspector Griffiths P, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the conditions attached to the original grant of listed building consent meet the tests set out in paragraph 56 of the NPPF, namely that conditions should be necessary, relevant to planning and to the development to be permitted, enforceable, precise, and reasonable in all other respects.
before me. That said, I see no good reason to question the grant of consent. I am content that, subject to conditions, the works proposed to the listed building, seen in the context of bringing it back into use, need not be harmful to its special architectural or historic interest. In that way, the works do not offend section 16(2) of the Act. As a result and having set out above my approach to the description of the works, I intend to confine myself to the conditions attached to the original grant of consent including, for reasons that will become clear, those not in dispute.

What decided it
The conditions attached to the original grant of listed building consent failed to meet the NPPF paragraph 56 tests in that many were unnecessary, imprecise, or unreasonable, duplicating statutory protections or going beyond what was required to safeguard the special interest of the listed building in the context of the conversion works shown on the approved plans.
