Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the conditions attached to the planning permission granted are necessary in order to make the development acceptable in planning terms, with particular regard to the living conditions of nearby residents, the integrity of existing trees, highway safety and the effect on designated heritage assets

What decided it

The original 12-month temporary permission was unduly restrictive and unreasonable as it would prevent advance booking of events and render the scheme unviable, whereas a three-year permission would allow proper monitoring and assessment of impacts whilst maintaining the benefits of the proposal.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy DE1Policy EN6Policy EN4Policy E9
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 57

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.
