Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the Council's decision to refuse the application was well-founded or not
What decided it
The Inspector's interpretation that the two parts of Condition 2 were not severable and together served a single purpose, meaning the Council's admitted 10-year breach of the first part rendered the whole condition unenforceable.
What the Inspector cited
- Judgments
- Lambeth LCB v Secretary of State for Housing Communities and Local Government [2019] 1 WLP 4317; Trump International Gold Club Scotland Ltd v Scottish Ministers [2015] UKSC 74
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.
