Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of preserving the openness of the Green Belt
What decided it
The condition is reasonable and necessary only in respect of GPDO Classes A and E, as development under these classes could be disproportionate to the original building or reduce openness, but not for other classes where the GPDO's own size constraints prevent harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GC1Policy LSQ1Policy GB2Policy CS20Policy CS22
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 147Paragraph 149
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
