- Inspector
- White P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the building and the area, with particular regard to the effect of the kitchen ventilation system
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to odour
- if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, combined with additional harm to openness, character and appearance, and living conditions, is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances have not been demonstrated.
