Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the NPPF and development plan policy
- 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 the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at No. 14 Hall Close with particular regard to levels of daylight and sunlight and the effect on outlook
- If the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposal represents a disproportionate addition to the dwelling in the Green Belt that would cause substantial harm to openness, character and appearance, and neighbouring living conditions, with no very special circumstances to justify it.
