Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition is necessary and reasonable in the interests of safeguarding the living conditions of the occupiers of Number 11 Crossley Close
What decided it
The GPDO's inherent size limitations and locational restrictions on extensions and outbuildings would prevent harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, so there was no clear justification to impose a blanket restriction on all permitted development rights.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 6Policy 37
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 54Paragraph 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.
