Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed variation of Conditions 2 and 21 would fall within the scope of section 73 of the Act
  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to its effect on openness
  • the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal preserves the openness of the Green Belt overall by maintaining the net improvement in openness from the comprehensive redevelopment scheme, meeting the exception in NPPF paragraph 154(h) for re-use of buildings.
