Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition is reasonable and necessary in the interests of protecting the openness of the Green Belt
What decided it
The size of the appeal site and the approved scheme's significant exceedance of the 50% floorspace threshold in Policy LPD 13 justified restricting permitted development rights for enlargements and alterations, but not for roof works, hard surfaces or means of enclosure which do not add to floorspace.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LPD 13
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 54Paragraph 154
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.
