Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed front boundary treatment on the character and appearance of the area
- if it 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 the development
What decided it
The proposal would constitute disproportionate development in the Green Belt, transforming the modest dormer bungalow into a large two-storey dwelling, and no very special circumstances were demonstrated to outweigh this harm.
