Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 substantial size and scale of the proposed rear extension would be disproportionate to the original building and would result in moderate harm to the openness of the Green Belt, which was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
