Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the condition is reasonable and necessary in the interests of preserving the openness of the Green Belt

What decided it

Development under GPDO Classes A, B and E, when combined with the existing development, could potentially fail to preserve the openness of the Green Belt, making removal of these specific permitted development rights reasonable and necessary, whereas other classes would not harm openness.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Core Strategy (2013) Policy CS5
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 148Paragraph 149

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.
