Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be inappropriate in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
The effect on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the terrace of houses in which it is located as non-designated heritage assets
The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent dwelling at Number 6 Clarke Lane with regard to outlook and overshadowing

What decided it

The proposal results in disproportionate additions to the original building in the Green Belt and lacks the very special circumstances needed to justify approval of inappropriate development.

Framework references: 149, 147

Plan policies cited: Policy PG3, Policy GC12, Policy PG13, Policy BE2, Policy DC2, Policy SE7, Policy SE1, Policy SD2, Policy DC3

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
