Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether Conditions 3, 4 and 5 attached to the planning permission are necessary and reasonable to safeguard the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area and the living conditions of neighbours
What decided it
The fundamental change from agricultural to residential use had already been accepted by the Council, and the removal of conditions restricting permitted development rights would not result in more harmful impact than this core change of use already permitted.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DM3.8DM3.13
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.
