Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is necessary and reasonable in the interests of protecting the character and appearance of the original building and the surrounding area
What decided it
The condition is necessary and reasonable to protect the character and appearance of the converted agricultural building and the surrounding rural area, as removal would enable substantial extensions and alterations that could significantly diminish the building's original character and erode the open, spacious rural landscape.
