Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing property and the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of Shamrock, regarding outlook and privacy
- if the development is inappropriate within the Green Belt, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, and if so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt by reason of disproportionate additions to the original building, and the resulting harm to the Green Belt and character and appearance is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances do not exist.
