Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development carried out amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt
What decided it
The extension, being single storey, largely hidden from public view, and having no material impact on the openness of the Green Belt in its immediate context, does not constitute a disproportionate addition and therefore is not inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DP13 EDP10 Bparagraph 13.3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 137
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.
