Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the garage is inappropriate development for the purposes of development plan policy and the National Planning Policy Framework
  • the effect of the garage on the openness of the Green Belt
  • if the garage is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it

What decided it

The proposed garage would be a disproportionate addition to the original building and would cause substantial harm to Green Belt openness and by reason of inappropriateness, which was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
