Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the occupancy condition is reasonable and necessary having regard to the local development strategy and the accessibility of the appeal site to shops, services, facilities and employment via sustainable modes of travel and transport
What decided it
The occupancy condition is not reasonable and necessary given the site's accessibility to sustainable transport, the lack of specific policy addressing removal of such conditions, and the extensive marketing evidence demonstrating the occupancy tie prevents sale of the property.
