Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development proposed would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The garage as built constitutes disproportionate additions to the original building in the Green Belt, causing loss of openness, and the considerations advanced by the appellant do not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
