Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the Framework and the development plan policy
- Its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 cumulative enlargement of the orangery and replacement garage would constitute a disproportionate addition to the original building, and the limited adverse impact on openness, to which substantial weight must be given, is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
Substantial weight given to harm to the Green Belt was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, resulting in dismissal of the appeal.
