Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether condition 5 is reasonable and necessary having regard to the character of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
  • the effect of removing condition 7 for the provision of cycle parking would have on encouraging the use of sustainable modes of transport

What decided it

The restriction on short-term lets and commercial use of the garage conversion was necessary to protect neighbouring living conditions and character, but the prohibition on cooking facilities and the requirement to retain cycle storage solely for bicycles were unreasonable and unnecessary restrictions.
