Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of protecting the countryside, including the effect of the building on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The appeal building is clearly intended to be permanent, does not harm the countryside character, and the Planning Practice Guidance indicates that demolition conditions on permanent buildings are unlikely to be reasonable, particularly where adequate safeguards exist through retained use restrictions and future planning controls.
Plan policies cited: Policy STRAT9 of the Cheshire West and Chester Local Plan (Part One) Strategic Policies (2015), Policy DM6 of the Cheshire West and Chester Local Plan (Part Two) Land Allocations and Detailed Policies Plan (July 2019)
