Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether condition 6 is necessary and reasonable having particular regard to the residential accommodation provided and the policies of the development plan and the Framework

What decided it

The arbitrary 12-month time restriction could potentially harm rather than protect the living conditions of vulnerable residents, and condition 5 already provided adequate safeguards through the vetting and placement regime.
