QBD 3 November 1995. Church wished to erect new staff residential accommodation in grounds of existing premises within a Green Belt. T refused outline permission but on appeal SoS granted it. T challenged the Inspector`s decision on the grounds that he had misconstrued and misapplied the relevant policies which applied stricter conditions on Green Belt development than PPG2 (1988). New buildings were only acceptable if an element of necessity was established and the Inspector had applied the test of essentiality incorrectly. "Held" Inspector had used the word `need` in the broader sense and had not applied strict test of necessity required by T`s adopted policies. Application allowed.
