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 9 is necessary to prevent extensions under permitted development rights that would cause substantial harm to Green Belt openness and undermine the acceptability of the approved scheme.
