Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the access track would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area and, if so, whether there are any other considerations which justify this and make the condition reasonably required or necessary
What decided it
The access track has already been substantially constructed and will remain regardless of whether condition 11 is removed; therefore, allowing it to serve an agricultural purpose is preferable to leaving it idle and the condition is unnecessary.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SP1
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.
