Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether reference to Classes E, F and G in Condition 4 is necessary and reasonable in all other aspects in protecting the openness of the Green Belt

What decided it

The removal of permitted development rights for Classes E, F and G was not necessary and unreasonable because it was not relevant to the rear extension that was permitted and the GPDO's own limitations provide adequate protection for Green Belt openness.
