Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition is reasonable and necessary with particular regard to whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by any other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The site-specific circumstances, including the considerable scope for extensions within the dwelling curtilages and the potential for cumulative enlargements to exceed the volume differential between existing and approved development, justify the condition as necessary to preserve Green Belt openness and prevent inappropriate development.
