Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition 7 is necessary and reasonable
What decided it
The disputed condition was both unnecessary and unreasonable because the permitted development rights it restricts would not cause material harm to the AONB, listed building settings, or local character, and the original planning permission lacked such a restriction despite allowing similar development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- OS2OS4EH9EH11
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 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.
