Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition 6 restricting permitted development rights meets the tests of being necessary, relevant to planning, relevant to the development to be permitted, enforceable, precise and reasonable in all other respects, and having particular regard to the effect on living conditions of neighbours and character and appearance of the area
What decided it
Permitted development rights granted by the Order have already been judged as acceptable, and the Inspector found no particularly pertinent reasons to remove them given the established suburban character and the limited impact of such works on neighbours and the area's appearance.
