Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition is reasonable and necessary in the interests of protecting the openness of the Green Belt
What decided it
The condition is reasonable and necessary because the site has already materially reduced Green Belt openness through the replacement dwelling and subsequent extensions, and permitting further development under Classes A, B and C would result in a dwelling substantially larger than the original building it replaced.
