Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the condition requiring completion of development within a three-year period is reasonable and necessary to enable the timely delivery of housing

What decided it

The three-year completion condition reflects the policy purpose of the prior approval route to deliver housing more quickly than standard planning permission, and the appellant failed to justify why this timeframe could not be met or why extension was necessary.
