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.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP57
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 138Paragraph 147Paragraph 148Paragraph 149Paragraph 202
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.
