Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of the character and appearance of the appeal building and the surrounding area
- Whether the condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of the living conditions of the neighbouring occupants of No 23
What decided it
The NPPF and Planning Practice Guidance establish that planning conditions should not restrict national permitted development rights unless there is clear justification, and in this case the Inspector found no such clear justification given the site's characteristics and the limited harm that would result from exercising the permitted development rights.
Plan policies cited: Policy BDP4, Policy BDP19, Policy BDP20, Policy BDP1
