Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
What decided it
The large plot size combined with the scale, siting, design and limited visibility of the extension from the road meant that, notwithstanding the substantial cumulative floorspace increase, the proposal did not represent a disproportionate addition to the original dwelling.
the substantial cumulative increase in floorspace was outweighed by the large plot size, modest scale, appropriate siting, design quality, and limited visibility from the public road, resulting in a finding that the proposal was not disproportionate

- Development plan policies
- Policy GB4
