Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
What decided it
The visual appearance and integration of the modest rear extension, when considered cumulatively with previous additions and taking account of its location, screening, and subservient design, meant it would not constitute a disproportionate addition despite the high percentage increase in overall building size.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GS4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149
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.
