Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host outbuilding and adjoining outbuildings
What decided it
The proposed extension, despite being modest in width and following the line of the existing lean-to, would raise the eaves height above the existing level, creating an awkward design detail that would appear to overwhelm the original outbuilding and detrimentally alter the character and appearance of the group of traditional farm buildings.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy P2Policy D1Policy G5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149
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.
