Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development is within the scope of section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended)
the effect of the proposal on parking provision
the effect of the proposal on the provision of older persons' accommodation within the Borough

What decided it

The proposal to remove the age restriction condition would conflict with the original description of development referring to elderly persons flats, placing it beyond the scope of section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
