Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether Conditions 6 and 7 are reasonable and necessary having regard to the visual amenity of the surrounding area and to public safety

What decided it

The conditions were unreasonable as drafted because they departed from the service station's actual operating hours and industry standards without sufficient justification based on the specific site context and driver behaviour at the junction.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy EP7 of the South Bucks District Local Plan
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 57

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.
