Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition is reasonable or necessary in the interests of preserving the openness of the Green Belt
What decided it
The disputed condition restricting permitted development rights was not justified by clear evidence of harm to Green Belt openness, as the appeal dwellings would not be more vulnerable to harmful extensions than neighbouring properties in the same linear development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- LP1LP2LP34
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 55Paragraph 145
