Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed conditions are reasonable and necessary, having regard to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of occupiers of the host dwelling, the annex and neighbouring properties
What decided it
The generous size of the appeal site, its well-screened rear garden, and the variation in plot sizes and boundary treatments in the area meant that removal of conditions 6 and 7 would not result in harm to character, appearance or living conditions, and therefore the conditions were neither reasonable nor necessary.
