Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether Condition No.5 is reasonable, necessary and relevant to the development to achieve improvements in air quality
- Whether Condition No.6 is reasonable, necessary and relevant to the development to improve the biodiversity of the site and to mitigate any impacts arising from the development
- Whether Condition No.7 is reasonable, necessary and relevant to the development to protect the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
Condition 7 failed the test of reasonableness and necessity under the Framework and PPG as the Council did not provide clear justification for restricting permitted development rights beyond a general reference to design policy.
Framework references: 55, 57
Plan policies cited: Policy T1, Policy DM2, Policy DM22, Policy DM1, Policy DM9
