Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed dwelling extensions would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposed dwelling extensions on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed extensions would constitute disproportionate and inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would materially harm openness, with no genuine very special circumstances demonstrated to justify the proposal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GB3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 137Paragraph 144Paragraph 148Paragraph 149
