Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether condition 14 is necessary and reasonable having regard to local and national policies relating to proposals affecting the Green Belt

What decided it

The large outbuilding materially harms the openness of the Green Belt both spatially and visually, and its removal was a contributing factor to the original permission's very special circumstances, making the condition necessary and reasonable.
