Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the conditions relating to land contamination (conditions 2-5) are necessary and reasonable having regard to the nature of the development and the potential risks to human health and the environment
- whether the archaeological conditions (conditions 14-16) are justified and proportionate given the scale and scope of permitted works
What decided it
The material difference between the permitted scheme (reuse of existing building with modest groundworks) and the previous proposal (demolition and new build with extensive excavation) on which the contamination conditions were based, combined with the Council's revised archaeological advice that further investigation was not proportionate, rendered all seven conditions unnecessary and unjustified.
