Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition 6 restricting permitted development rights is reasonable and necessary to protect the character and appearance of the host building
- Whether condition 6 is reasonable and necessary to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Holy Cross Conservation Area
- Whether condition 6 is reasonable and necessary to protect the openness of the Green Belt
What decided it
The specifics of the appeal site, including its prominent location within the Conservation Area, its status as a non-designated heritage asset, and its open rural character, justify the restriction of permitted development rights to protect the character and appearance of the host building and the Conservation Area.
