Inspector: Wyatt G
Postcode: NG3 5RQ

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and development plan policy
the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The proposed conservatory would push the enlarged dwelling beyond the 50% maximum increase permitted under Policy LPD 13, constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it.

The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not outweighed by the acceptable design and absence of heritage harm, and no very special circumstances existed to justify the development.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy LPD 13
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 137Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
