Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework 2021 and development plan policy
  • If the proposal amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt, the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 6 Tally Road, with particular regard to overshadowing and visual impact
  • If the proposal amounts to inappropriate development, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, including any public benefits, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal would unacceptably harm the living conditions of the occupiers of No.6 through its visually overbearing impact, which would not be outweighed by the benefits to the appellant.

The benefits of additional accommodation for the appellant were clearly outweighed by the significant harmful impact on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
