Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition 4 is necessary and reasonable to protect the living conditions of future occupiers of the approved development, with particular regard to internal and external space provision
- Whether condition 4 is necessary and reasonable to limit the effects of on-street car parking on highway safety and the living conditions of occupiers of neighbour properties
What decided it
The removal of condition 4 and its replacement with a condition restricting permitted development rights for C4 use adequately protects both future occupier living conditions and highway safety while allowing reasonable flexibility in use.
