Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of removing the condition on the Green Belt and its openness
What decided it
The condition restricting permitted development rights was unnecessary because previous permissions on the site were not subject to such restrictions and the Council had found the current scheme beneficial to the Green Belt, meaning any future development under permitted rights would have less impact than what was previously permissible.
