Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of preserving the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring property
What decided it
The blanket removal of permitted development rights failed to meet the tests of reasonableness and necessity under the Planning Practice Guidance, as the potential impacts on Green Belt openness and neighbouring living conditions were not sufficiently great to justify restricting rights granted by Government Order.
