Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the conditions are reasonable and necessary in the interests of the living conditions of the residents of neighbouring properties and highway safety

What decided it

The temporary 24-month restriction was unreasonable and unnecessary because noise impacts would be negligible with effective mitigation, highway impacts would be acceptable with on-site parking and travel management, and the financial burden of the planning obligation without permanent permission was disproportionate.

National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 57
