Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether removal or variation of the condition would result in inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- If it were inappropriate development, whether there are any other considerations that would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the removal or variation of the condition
What decided it
The Inspector allowed the appeal by varying rather than removing the condition, replacing it with a requirement that the caravan use cease when the equestrian facilities at Hall Farm Livery Stables become unavailable, thereby maintaining the link between uses and preserving Green Belt openness without materially altering the development.
