Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of granting planning permission without the disputed condition on (i) the character and appearance of the locally listed building and (ii) the openness of the Green Belt

What decided it

The amended condition restricting development permitted by Schedule 2, Part 1, classes A, B, D, and E of the GPDO (with Class E limited to garages and outbuildings) strikes the necessary balance to protect the character and appearance of the locally listed building and the openness of the Green Belt without imposing unreasonable blanket restrictions on permitted development rights.
