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.

Development plan policies: Policy G1BLP Policy 49BLP Policy 51BLP Policy 39BLP Policy 41BLP Policy 43BLP Policy 73
