Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the development plan and the Framework
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, 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 it
What decided it
The dwelling had already been extended to the point where any further additions would be disproportionate under the 33% threshold, and the cumulative increase of 134% meant the proposal could not be justified by very special circumstances.
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, to which substantial weight must be given, was not clearly outweighed by the factors in the scheme's favour, and very special circumstances did not exist.
