Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the condition in dispute is reasonable and necessary having regard to whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, the effect on openness of the Green Belt, and whether very special circumstances exist to justify the development

What decided it

The retention of the outbuildings would result in a disproportionate addition to the original building and cause substantial harm to Green Belt openness, with no very special circumstances advanced to justify the development.

Framework references: 11, 153, 154

Plan policies cited: Policy CP8, Policy GB1, Policy GB3

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
