Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- 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 the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposals constitute disproportionate additions to the original dwelling and therefore inappropriate development in the Green Belt, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to justify the harm.
The other considerations, including absence of design objections and no local opposition, did not cumulatively outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt caused by inappropriate development and loss of openness.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 21 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies (2019)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 148Paragraph 149
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
