Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of protecting the openness of the Green Belt

What decided it

The relevant tests in the NPPF for imposing conditions that restrict permitted development rights have not been met, as the physical constraints of the site, the restrictions within the GPDO, and the scale of the consented development mean that any effects on Green Belt openness would be very minor.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
LPA01LPD05
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 149Paragraph 11

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
