Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether it is necessary and reasonable to require the cessation of the B8 use after a fixed period of time and whether the disputed condition is precise

What decided it

The absence of substantive evidence that the self-storage use had caused any issues during its 3-year operation, combined with the proportional nature of the proposed expansion and the imprecision of the restoration requirement, made the temporary condition unreasonable.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy PG3 of the Birmingham Development Plan 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.
