Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition in dispute is reasonable and necessary
What decided it
The potential for outbuildings erected under Class E close to the shared boundary with No 12 Ravenswood Crescent would appear significantly overbearing to occupiers with windows in a shallow rear garden, providing clear justification for the restriction.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 37 of the Bromley Local Plan
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.
