Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the condition is necessary and reasonable to protect living conditions at neighbouring properties

What decided it

The 2-year time limit condition is not necessary to protect living conditions at neighbouring properties and is not reasonable in all respects, particularly because it would not provide a stable home for vulnerable children or allow sufficient time for effective monitoring.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
BNE1
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 57

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.
