Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether removal of the condition is likely to result in development that would impact detrimentally on the openness and visual amenities of the Green Belt
- Whether removal of the condition would otherwise harm the Bromley, Hayes & Keston Commons Conservation Area
- Whether removal of the condition would harm the River Ravensbourne, Ravensbourne Valley Woodlands, Keston Common and Hayes Common Site of Importance for Nature Conservation
What decided it
The condition fails to meet the tests of reasonableness and necessity under NPPF paragraphs 55 and 57 because permitted development rights are not restricted as a matter of course in the Green Belt, the single-storey extension does not increase permitted development potential, and existing TPOs and condition 15 provide adequate protection for conservation and ecological interests.
