Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed extension, together with previous extensions added to the dwelling, would constitute 'inappropriate development' in the Green Belt
The effect of the development on the openness within the Green Belt
If so, whether there are other considerations which clearly outweigh the harm caused by being inappropriate development so as to amount to very special circumstances

What decided it

The cumulative volume of extensions would be disproportionate to the original building and constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt, and the proposed demolition works, whilst beneficial, do not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.

Framework references: 148, 149

Plan policies cited: Policy S4 (Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan), Policy RA.18 (former AVDLP)

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
