Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development within the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the area
- If the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether or not the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed development falls within the exceptions to inappropriate development in the Green Belt set out in paragraphs 149(d) and 149(e) of the Framework, and no other harm has been identified which would justify refusing planning permission.
Not applicable; the proposal was found not to be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, so no balancing exercise against very special circumstances was required.
