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 on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to privacy to the adjoining properties
  • If the proposal is inappropriate development, whether 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 proposed development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with disproportionate additions that would harm openness, character and appearance, and neighbouring privacy, with no very special circumstances to justify it.
