Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
What decided it
The extension, when assessed against the specific characteristics of the site and the original dwelling rather than the 25% threshold alone, does not result in a disproportionate addition and therefore does not constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM17
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 145
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.
