Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the condition [2] in respect of Classes B, E and F of the GPDO is necessary, reasonable and relevant to the development to be permitted, having regard to the openness of the Green Belt

What decided it

Class F of the GPDO relating to hard surfaces is subject to specific size restrictions and is unlikely to have a harmful effect on Green Belt openness visually or spatially beyond what is envisaged by the GPDO, whereas Classes A, B and E require control to prevent disproportionate additions to the already-extended dwelling in this prominent Green Belt location.

Framework references: 154

Plan policies cited: Policy N33 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (Review 2006), Policy HDG3 of the Leeds Householder Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document 2012

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.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
