Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to National planning policy and relevant development plan policies
- If it is inappropriate development, the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
- If it is inappropriate development, whether harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances needed to justify the development
What decided it
The fallback position of permitted development (Lawful Development Certificate for single-storey extensions) would result in greater harm to Green Belt openness and character than the appeal proposal, thereby constituting very special circumstances to justify the inappropriate development.
