Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development, without the condition in place, on the Green Belt, including whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and if relevant the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- if the development is inappropriate, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
Condition 12 must be modified to restrict only Classes A and B of permitted development rights, as these would cause material enlargement and harm to Green Belt openness, while Classes C, AA, AC and AD would not cause such harm and their restriction fails the necessity test.
