Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the conditions in dispute are reasonable and necessary, having regard to the character and appearance of the area
  • The safety and suitability of the pedestrian access

What decided it

Condition 2 fails the test of reasonableness and necessity as the incidental use is already secured by the description of the approved development and the requirement for planning permission for any material change of use, whereas condition 3 is justified as it ensures important pedestrian safety and convenience.

Framework references: 56, 130
