Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and relevant policies of the Development Plan
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, whether 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 required to justify it
What decided it
The cumulative effect of the proposal with previous extensions would result in a dwelling considerably larger than the original building, constituting disproportionate and inappropriate development in the Green Belt that could not be justified by the limited private benefits offered.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, combined with harm to openness and character and appearance, was not outweighed by the limited private benefits, and very special circumstances were not established.
