Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition is necessary or reasonable to make the development acceptable in planning terms, having regard to the site's location in the Green Belt
What decided it
The appeal site's circumstances are not unique and do not represent clear, site-specific justification to demonstrate that exercise of permitted development rights would be implicitly harmful to the Green Belt, therefore the condition cannot be justified under paragraph 55 of the Framework.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SC7
- 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.
