Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition 5 is reasonable and necessary in the interests of the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area
- Whether condition 5 is reasonable and necessary in the interests of flood risk
- Whether condition 5 is reasonable and necessary in the interests of impacts upon protected species
What decided it
The large size and rural location of the extended residential curtilage, combined with its extensive tree coverage and position away from the public highway, justified the retention of condition 5 to prevent sprawl of built development and preserve the inherent rural character of this part of the countryside.
