Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, including the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB)
- The effect of the development proposed on the living conditions of the occupants of Conifer Cottage, with particular regard to outlook
- If the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt by reason of disproportionate additions to the original building, and the substantial harm to Green Belt openness and character and appearance of the AONB is not clearly outweighed by the private benefits offered.
