Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal proposal can be considered under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
- the effect of the proposal on the character of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal to increase the maximum number of children from 9 to 12 would require a variation to the operative part of the original planning permission (its description of development), which is beyond the scope of a section 73 application under the Finney judgment.
