Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the condition is reasonable or necessary to avoid prejudicing future opportunities for redevelopment of the appeal site

What decided it

The evidence did not demonstrate that the temporary condition was reasonable or necessary to avoid prejudicing future redevelopment opportunities, given the appellant's substantial investment, long-term commitment, and the modest contribution of the units to the overall business.
