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.
