Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that the variation of condition No. 3 would have on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect that the removal of condition No. 4 would have on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the living conditions of residents of surrounding properties

What decided it

The removal of Condition 4 restricting permitted development rights was justified because the site's position in a rural area alone does not constitute an exceptional circumstance, and the site would be experienced as part of the residential curtilage of Barn Cottage rather than as open countryside.

Plan policies cited: Policy S2, Policy S32
