Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the condition is reasonable and necessary with regards to the character and openness of the Green Belt

What decided it

The local circumstances of the site, including the visibility of the garden from the public realm, previous extensions exceeding the 30% threshold, and the provisions of the Householder Design Guide, justify the condition restricting permitted development rights to protect the character and openness of the Green Belt.

The private benefit to the appellants of greater flexibility to add or replace outbuildings without planning permission does not outweigh the planning considerations regarding the protection of Green Belt land.
