Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
- If the development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt its effect on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- If the development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, clearly outweighed by other considerations. If so, whether this amounts to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The building qualifies as a normal domestic adjunct to the dwelling and therefore as an extension under Green Belt policy, rather than inappropriate new development, and does not harm character and appearance.
