Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether a planning obligation is necessary and effective in order to make the development acceptable

What decided it

Planning obligations are not necessary where the requirements can be effectively secured through appropriately worded planning conditions, as is the case here for demolition of the existing dwelling and removal of permitted development rights.
