Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition 7 is necessary and reasonable with regard to the provision of office space in the Central Activities Zone (CAZ)
What decided it
The condition restricting use to offices only was not necessary because there was no need to restrict the use in order to make the proposed physical alterations acceptable, and it was not reasonable as it placed an unnecessary and unjustified restriction on the established Class E use of the property.
Framework references: 56
