Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is necessary, relevant to the development to be permitted, precise, reasonable and enforceable having regard to the appeal site location
What decided it
The 25-week restriction was not necessary or reasonable as it was not required by development plan policy, was inconsistent with other similar permissions granted by the same Council, and could not be effectively enforced due to the absence of occupation date recording requirements in the register condition.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Strategy 7 (Development in the Countryside)
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.
