Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and the development plan
  • The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to outlook and privacy
  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with regard to outlook
  • If the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness, character and appearance, and neighbouring amenity, with no very special circumstances to justify it.
