Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the NPPF and development plan policy
- The effects of the development on the existing dwelling and the surrounding area
What decided it
The outbuilding, being sited within the curtilage and functioning as a conventional domestic adjunct with a non-disproportionate 14% increase in floorspace, qualifies as an extension under NPPF paragraph 149(c) and Policy P2, and is therefore not inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy P2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149Paragraph 145
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.
