Yeomans, Priorswood, Compton, Surrey, GU3 1DS — Guildford Borough Council — Appeal Decision regard to the Council’s appeal statement which identifies that the application would have been approved if the Council had been able to make a decision. Main Issue 3. The main issue is whether the reinstatement of permitted development rights is appropriate. Reasons 4. The appeal site comprises a large, detached home, set within spacious grounds and is located within the Green Belt. 5. The original permission contained a condition which removed permitted development rights. However, the Government did not omit such rights from developments in Green Belt locations. Indeed, by their very nature, the extent of development that is possible under permitted development is limited to ensure that any impacts are acceptable, including in Green Belt terms. For the same reasons, any such development would also be acceptable in terms of the impact on character and appearance. 6. I therefore find that the removal of condition 4 would not lead to unacceptable impacts on the character and appearance of the area, in accordance with Policies H4 and D4 of the Guildford Local Plan Development Management Policies 2023.

Yeomans, Priorswood, Compton, Surrey, GU3 1DS — Guildford Borough Council — Appeal Decision Taken together, the relevant aspects of these policies seek to ensure that new development, including residential extensions, is well designed and preserves character and appearance. Removing the condition would also comply with Green Belt policy contained within Policy P2 of the Guilford Local Plan: Strategy and Sites, as well as the relevant sections of the National Planning Policy Framework. Other Matters 7. A third party has queried the legitimacy of certain outbuildings that have been erected on the property. However, this matter falls outside of the remit of this appeal. Conditions 8. Conditions 1 to 3 of the original permission have been reimposed for the reasons given by the Council at the time. Conclusion 9. For the reasons given, the appeal is allowed.
