Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether that part of the condition which restricts permitted development rights to erect any detached building is reasonable and necessary in the interests of safeguarding the amenities of the surrounding area
What decided it
The restriction on permitted development rights to erect a detached building was neither necessary nor reasonable as the rear garden could accommodate a Class E building within the prescribed limitations without harm to amenities, and no exceptional circumstances existed to justify removing national permitted development rights.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 54Paragraph 56Paragraph 17
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.
