Land to the Rear of 14 Main Street, Linby, Nottingham, NG15 8AE
Planning appeal 3268087 at Land to the Rear of 14 Main Street, Linby, Nottingham, NG15 8AE (Gedling Borough Council) was allowed on 31 August 2021 by Inspector Williamson J, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the proposed development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to any relevant development plan policies and the Framework, taking account of the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to any relevant development plan policies and the Framework, taking account of the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
- whether the proposal would cause any other harm, ie whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area and whether it would affect the setting of a listed building
- if the development is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations that amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The proposed extension would not be disproportionate in size relative to the original garage building and therefore constitutes a permitted exception under paragraph 149 'c' of the Framework.
