Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether Condition 11 is reasonable and necessary in the interests of protecting the openness of the Green Belt

What decided it

The site-specific circumstances, including the large size of the appeal site, the revised siting surrounded by undeveloped land, and the realistic prospect of additional built development under permitted development rights that could cumulatively harm Green Belt openness, justified retention of the condition as necessary and reasonable.
