Hughes Meats (UK) Ltd, 81 Main Road, Broomfield, CHELMSFORD, CM1 7BU — Chelmsford Borough Council — Appeal Decision The main issue is whether the appeal proposal amounts to permitted development, accounting for the condition imposed on permission ref 86/0444. Reasons 4. The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) states that it does not permit development contrary to any condition imposed by any planning permission granted. 5. The part of the building the subject of this appeal was constructed following a grant of permission subject to a condition restricting it to a use ancillary to the then-existing butchers’ shop. Neither the cessation of the butchers use with conversion of the shop to residential nor the demolition of part of the approved extension results in the removal of that condition. The proposed works cannot therefore amount to permitted development. 6. There is accordingly no need to consider further whether the proposed works would be reasonably necessary to convert the building into a dwelling. Conclusion 7. For the reasons set out above, the appeal fails.
