Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the planning permission granted by prior approval is extant
  • Whether condition 6 is reasonable and necessary

What decided it

The condition requiring a drainage strategy is reasonable and necessary to ensure sustainable drainage and prevent flood risk, but need not be a pre-commencement condition as the conversion works would not prevent later installation of drainage infrastructure.
