Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • The effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposed extensions on the character and appearance of the existing property and the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property at Wykenham in Brookshill, with particular reference to outlook, daylight and sunlight
  • Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness, character and appearance, and neighbouring living conditions, with no very special circumstances to justify approval.
