Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt and its effect on openness
- whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The incremental difference between the approved scheme and the proposed scheme (600mm additional roof height) was not so substantial as to constitute a disproportionate addition over and above the original dwelling, particularly given the house's set-back location and separation from neighbours.
