Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition is reasonable and necessary to protect the openness of the Green Belt
What decided it
The sensitive Green Belt location and visibility of the site, combined with the history of the property already exceeding normal extension limits, justified the imposition of Condition 5 to retain control over future alterations that could significantly harm the character and appearance of the surrounding countryside.
The need to protect the Green Belt's openness and the surrounding countryside's character and appearance outweighed the restriction on permitted development rights, which the Inspector found was justified in these exceptional circumstances.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Unitary Development Plan
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.
