Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition 10 is reasonable and necessary to protect the openness of the Green Belt and the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Cudham Village Conservation Area, and the four dwellings within the appeal site, which are locally listed buildings
What decided it
The condition is justified in this specific context because the dwellings have extensive curtilages, were originally permitted on the basis of a net reduction in floorspace, and removal of the condition would permit substantial additional outbuildings and extensions that would reduce Green Belt openness, particularly affecting the visually prominent Rose Cottage.
