Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether, based on the evidence before the Inspector, the condition is reasonable and enforceable
What decided it
The Certificate of Lawfulness issued in 2017 confirming lawful occupation in breach of the condition for over ten years rendered the condition no longer reasonable or enforceable, outweighing the conflict with the development plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy RA4 of the Herefordshire Local Plan Core Strategy 2011 – 2031
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
