Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether condition 4 restricting permitted development rights is reasonable and necessary in the interests of protecting the Green Belt and the living conditions of neighbours

What decided it

The Government's intentional omission of Green Belt land from the GPDO restrictions on permitted development rights, combined with the absence of site-specific circumstances justifying removal of those rights, meant condition 4 lacked the clear justification required by the NPPF.
