Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommended the retention of Condition No.s 2 and 5 in their entirety to ensure the development remains sympathetic to the uniform character of the artisan terrace, protects visual and residential amenities, and adheres to sustainable drainage principles in the interest of public health.
