Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the development is inappropriate, 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 the development
What decided it
The cumulative increase in building size from previous extensions means the proposal would be disproportionate when compared to the original dwelling, constituting inappropriate Green Belt development that is not outweighed by the limited personal benefits to the occupier.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS.10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 137Paragraph 138Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
