Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development 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 development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- If the proposed development 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 required to justify the proposed development
What decided it
The unacceptable impact on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area caused by the proposed rear dormers, which would create a cluttered and poorly proportioned rear elevation conflicting with design quality policies.
