Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the variation of condition 3 of planning permission Ref 23/02610/FUL is necessary or reasonable in all other respects
What decided it
The submission of a detailed parking plan (drawing 6544/02) showing three parking spaces that have been implemented on site and found to be adequate and acceptable removes the necessity for a pre-use approval condition, allowing it to be replaced with a retention condition tied to that specific plan.
