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 of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the setting of the grade II listed The Grange and on the character and appearance of the Calverley Conservation Area
- if the proposal is 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 the development
What decided it
The material increase in bulk and volume of the replacement dwelling would cause inappropriate development in the Green Belt and harmful loss of openness, combined with less than substantial but unmitigated harm to the setting of the listed building and Conservation Area, with no very special circumstances to justify approval.
