Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the condition is reasonable and necessary in the interests of protecting the Green Belt

What decided it

The previous extensions to the building had already exceeded the development plan threshold of 30% disproportionality, and retention of permitted development rights for further extensions would risk harm to the Green Belt, justifying a narrowed condition that restricts only those rights relating to enlargements and outbuildings.

the need to protect the Green Belt from disproportionate extensions, given the cumulative impact of previous extensions already exceeding policy thresholds, outweighed the general principle against blanket removal of permitted development rights, resulting in a narrowed condition that restricts only enlargements and outbuildings
