Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed change of use of land to domestic garden would preserve the openness of the Green Belt
  • whether it would conflict with the purposes for Green Belt designation

What decided it

The site's small size, limited visibility from public vantage points, close relationship to existing built form, and the removal of permitted development rights for structures would preserve Green Belt openness and prevent conflict with Green Belt purposes.
