Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the street scene
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of Number 79 Robin Lane with regard to overshadowing and the outlook from that dwelling
What decided it
The proposal would result in disproportionate additions to the size of the original building (72.9% cumulative increase), constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt that cannot be justified by very special circumstances.
