GB5 - Dwellings Permitted Under Very Special Circumstances or as Rural Exceptions in the Green Belt

Where new dwellings are permitted in the Green Belt on grounds of very special circumstances or as part of a rural exception scheme, the Council will remove permitted development rights for extensions and outbuildings to prevent future additions that cumulatively impact upon the openness of the Green Belt.

Applications to extend dwellings or erect or extend outbuildings to dwellings that have or are permitted on grounds of very special circumstances , or as part of a rural exception scheme will not be permitted.
