Why it was refused

  1. The PPG and the NPPF advise that conditions restricting future permitted development rights should only be used when there is a clear justification for doing so. The site lies within the Green Belt. Chapter 13 seeks to protect the Green Belt by preventing urban sprawl and keeping land permanently open. Policy S11 of the Chelmsford Local Plan also seeks to protect the openness and permanence of the Green Belt. Policy DM6 of the Chelmsford Local Plan states that where new buildings are proposed within the Green Belt, inappropriate development will not be approved except in very special circumstances. Condition 3 of the original planning permission 25/00992/FUL was imposed to enable the Council to control the erection or further outbuildings, which by virtue of siting, scale and cumulative impact could be harmful to the openness of the Green Belt. The proposed removal of this condition would enable additional development within the curtilage of the dwelling without the need for express permission. The Local Planning Authority considers that additional built form within the curtilage could result in inappropriate WEB PBCS090 25/00992/S73 REMATZ development in the Green Belt and result in loss of openness contrary to Policies S11 and DM6 of the Chelmsford Local Plan and the objectives of the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
