Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework (2021)
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
  • if the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it

What decided it

The proposal breaches Policy DM43's 140 cubic metre outbuilding volume limit for the Green Belt, and the substantial weight attributed to Green Belt harm under the Framework was not clearly outweighed by any other considerations.
