Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development is permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the GPDO having particular regard to Condition 10 of planning permission reference 02/P/1036/O
What decided it
Condition 10 does not clearly or expressly prevent residential use of the employment land; it is narrow in restriction and only seeks to restrict alternative employment uses to protect nearby residential properties, therefore it does not restrict the application of GPDO permitted development rights for re-use of existing employment sites for housing.
