Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the condition in dispute is reasonable and necessary having regard to the amenities of the area

What decided it

The condition must be assessed in relation to the whole estate rather than a single property in isolation, and its removal would be unreasonable because it would deprive other residents of the opportunity to make representations on future development proposals.
