3 Two Gates, Holme Lane, Slaithwaite, Huddersfield, HD7 3UG

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• Whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
• Whether the development would preserve the Grade II listed Nos 3-4 (Two Gates) Holme Lane, Slaithwaite, or any features of special architectural and/or historic character that it possesses, including setting
• Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposed sunroom is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of a listed building, with no public benefits or special circumstances to justify it.

The harm by reason of inappropriateness in the Green Belt and less than substantial harm to the listed building setting was not outweighed by any public benefits or other considerations, as all benefits would be private.
