Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether, to meet the six tests in paragraph 56 of the NPPF, the disputed condition should be retained, having regard to the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The change in roofing material would not materially add to the building's visibility or render it an unduly conspicuous feature within the landscape, and therefore the condition requiring compliance with the original approved plans was not necessary to ensure the development was acceptable in planning terms.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ST1 (a)Policy ST1 (b)Policy EV2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 56
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.
