Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary having regard to national and local planning policies in respect of the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
What decided it
The condition is reasonable and necessary because it enables the council to consider the impact of future development on Green Belt openness through planning applications, which provides clear justification for restricting permitted development rights that would not have applied to the building in its previous ancillary use.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy P2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 155
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.
