Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- If the proposed development is inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way 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 conservatory's prominent position and incongruous design would harm the character and appearance of the rural area, whereas the skylights would not be readily apparent and would cause no significant harm.
