What decided it
The site's enclosed nature with existing vegetation and neighbouring outbuildings, combined with the self-limiting nature of permitted development restrictions through height controls, meant there was no clear justification under NPPF paragraph 55 for restricting national permitted development rights.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EV2Policy ST4Policy ST1Policy NP1Policy NP2Policy NP4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 55
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
