Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies, including the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether any 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would be a disproportionate addition to the original building exceeding the policy threshold, causing substantial harm to Green Belt openness that was not clearly outweighed by any other considerations.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by the limited benefits of private family accommodation and sustainability measures, so very special circumstances did not exist.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BDP4.4 of the Bromsgrove District Plan 2011-2030
- 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.
