Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether disputed Condition No 6 is necessary and reasonable having regard to the effect of the development on the Green Belt, including openness and the other purposes of including land within it
What decided it
Condition No 6 failed all six tests for planning conditions and was not necessary to make unacceptable development acceptable, as the approved equestrian use was already compliant with Green Belt policy.
