Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether conditions 3 and 4 of planning permission 23/00228/FUL are reasonable and necessary, having particular regard to the requirements of development plan policy to protect the Green Wedge
What decided it
The site's limited contribution to the Green Wedge designation due to its well-contained position behind existing built form and tall trees, combined with the fact that any material change of use would require planning permission regardless of the conditions, meant conditions 3 and 4 were not reasonable or necessary.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CP18Derby City Local Plan Part 1 (2017)
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.
