Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether each of the disputed conditions (7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15 and 16) complies with the tests for conditions set out within the National Planning Policy Framework

What decided it

The conditions must comply with NPPF tests of necessity, relevance, enforceability, precision and reasonableness, and several conditions failed these tests by being either unnecessary, unduly onerous, or disproportionate to the modest scale of development.
