Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the condition in question is necessary to prevent inappropriate development in the Green Belt and from causing harm to its openness

What decided it

The GPDO places no restrictions on permitted development rights in Green Belts, and the Council's blanket removal of such rights without site-specific assessment of actual harm was inconsistent with national policy and guidance and therefore not justified.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy GB/1Policy S/4
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 137Paragraph 149Paragraph 202

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
