Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the breach of planning control alleged in the notice is inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the Framework and the development plan
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the breach of planning control alleged in the notice is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The cumulative effect of the planning history showing disproportionate extensions beyond the 10% policy threshold, combined with two previous Inspector decisions finding further extensions inappropriate in the Green Belt, meant very special circumstances could not be demonstrated to justify the conservatory.
