Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed extension 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
- whether the proposal would be within a suitable location for housing with respect to flood risk in consideration of local and national policies
- whether the proposal would affect arboricultural interests
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, particularly with respect to the use of the access
- if the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances to justify it
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness and flood risk, with no Sequential Test demonstrated, and these harms are not clearly outweighed by other considerations to establish very special circumstances.
