Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal can be determined under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
  • whether the disputed condition is necessary or reasonable to make the development acceptable in planning terms, having particular regard to the site's location in the Green Belt

What decided it

The removal of condition 11 would not result in a conflict with the operative part of the permission, and there was insufficient evidence that the removal would be implicitly harmful to Green Belt openness or other planning considerations.
