Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether condition 7 is reasonable and necessary regarding the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the cumulative impact of buildings of this nature resulting in an unsustainable pattern of development within the Green Belt

What decided it

The absence of evidence demonstrating that this single agricultural building would contribute to an unsustainable pattern of development, combined with the availability of adequate alternative controls through the planning application process and the GPDO criteria, meant the condition restricting permitted development rights was not justified.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy DM34: Development in the Green Belt and Countryside areaPolicy Env 6 of the Core StrategyPolicy DM26 of the DPDPolicy BD1 of the Core StrategyPolicy Env 2 of the Core Strategy
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 154Paragraph 55
