Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area
  • Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations. If so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The cumulative effect of the proposed extension combined with substantial prior extensions would constitute disproportionate additions to the original building in breach of Green Belt policy, and the moderate harms to openness and character and appearance were not clearly outweighed by other considerations.

Framework references: 147, 148, 149
