Page 2 · Chunk 5 therefore considered the appeal on this basis accordingly.

Maryland, Horse Gate Ride, Ascot, Windsor And Maidenhead, SL5 9LS — Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead — therefore considered the appeal on this basis accordingly. Appeal Decision APP/T0355/W/25/3363672 Main Issues 4. The main issues are: • whether the permission that is subject to this appeal is extant, and if it is; • whether the revised proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt with regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies; and • whether the revised proposal complies with the adopted policies relating to climate change. Reasons 5. Section 73(4) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 sets out that section 73 does not apply if the planning permission was granted subject to a time limited commencement condition and that time period has expired without the development having begun. 6. There is no compelling evidence before me, including my own observations on site, that the development has begun. Consequently, I conclude that the permission subject to this appeal has lapsed and as such there is no extant permission to vary. Accordingly, Section 73 does not apply, and I do not need to consider the other main issues further. Conclusion 7. For the above reasons, there can be no Section 73 appeal, and no further action will be taken on the appeal. The appeal is dismissed.
