Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there is a clear justification for condition No 9 to remove national permitted development rights
What decided it
The increased size of the replacement dwelling (10% volume increase) was not excessive and did not clearly justify removing Class E permitted development rights, which are less directly relevant to the development permitted than extension rights and were already exercisable on the existing dwelling.
