Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the condition restricting permitted development rights is reasonable or necessary in the interests of the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the condition restricting permitted development rights is reasonable or necessary in the interests of the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
What decided it
The visual prominence and cumulative impact of unrestricted permitted development under Classes A, D and E would harmfully disrupt the established character of the terrace row and materially harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and visual intrusion.
