Green Belt - stable conversion to two bedroom dwellinghouse
The stable was built under permitted development as a Class E outbuilding to the applicant’s house. A change in the applicant’s circumstances resulted in the stables no longer being needed and an alternative, sustainable form of development was considered, in the form of a dwellinghoue.
The Council took a pragmatic approach and considered the impact on the openness of the Green Belt to be limited due to the character of the area and they were satisfied that the building was permanent and substantial and capable of conversion. The development was considered to be a sustainable form of development and caused limited impact on its Green Belt location.
