Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the condition is necessary and reasonable having regard to local and national policy concerning development in the Green Belt

What decided it

Permitted development rights are already granted by secondary legislation with no specific restrictions for Green Belt dwelling curtilages, and the site's self-contained and screened nature means future permitted development would not unduly harm openness or character, making the condition neither necessary nor reasonable.
