Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary in the interests of maintaining the openness of the Green Belt

What decided it

The condition restricts permitted development rights without clear justification, contrary to NPPF paragraph 54, as a Green Belt location alone does not warrant removal of such rights and the extended garden area is appropriately sized with inherent physical constraints limiting future development.
