Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether condition 7 is reasonable and necessary with particular regard to Green Belt and National Landscape policies

What decided it

Class B roof additions are already prohibited by National Landscape policy, making the condition restriction on Class B unreasonable and unnecessary, while restrictions on Classes A and E extensions and outbuildings remain justified to protect Green Belt openness.

Framework references: 55

Plan policies cited: Policy 37, Policy 49, Policy 51, Policy 76
