Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawfulness was well founded

What decided it

The condition requiring vehicular access and visibility splay details was not a true conditions precedent because its physical requirements only applied prior to occupation, not prior to commencement, and therefore did not prevent lawful implementation of the permission.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DC5 of the Vale of White Horse Local Plan 2011 Saved Policies

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.
