Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect varying the condition would have on the description of development and operative part of the permission

What decided it

The proposed variation would alter a fundamental aspect of the approved development's operation and impact by opening the site to any Class E(g) use, which falls outside the scope of section 73 and requires a fresh planning application.
