Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: whether the decision of the Council to refuse the application for an LDC was well founded
  • Appeal B: whether the proposed development represents inappropriate development within the Green Belt and, if so, whether there are any material considerations that outweigh the harm caused by such development, and any other harm, and are sufficient to justify the proposal on the grounds of very special circumstances
  • Appeal B: the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

Appeal A: Site inspection confirmed the boundary exceeded 2 metres from the 2-storey extension, meeting GPDO permitted development criteria. Appeal B: Conditions requiring detailed specifications of materials, post positions, and landscaping could mitigate visual impact on character and appearance, allowing the boundary security benefits to outweigh Green Belt harm in principle.
