Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposed extensions would constitute proportionate additions to the original dwelling and would not be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, therefore no very special circumstances were required.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DP10DP13
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 137Paragraph 149
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
