Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed extension would be inappropriate development within the Green Belt and, if so, whether other considerations clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt so as to amount to very special circumstances
What decided it
The cumulative effect of the proposed extension combined with previous and unimplemented permitted extensions would result in a disproportionate addition to the original dwelling, making it inappropriate Green Belt development that cannot be justified by very special circumstances.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EE14
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.
