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 and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- would 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 proposal represents a disproportionate addition to the original building (120% volume increase) that conflicts with both the Framework and local policy, constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy S4 of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan 2013-2033 Adopted Plan September 2021
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
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.
