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 effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
- 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 disproportionate scale of the extensions, which would nearly double the floorspace and substantially alter the roofscape, constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that cannot be justified by the limited benefits of bringing a vacant property back into use.
