Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- Would harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal if necessary
What decided it
The proposal satisfied the Framework exceptions for extensions and alterations in the Green Belt by not resulting in disproportionate additions and maintaining the dominance of the original building, with no harm to openness or character and appearance, therefore no very special circumstances were required.
Framework references: 147, 149
Plan policies cited: Policy LP57, Policy LP24, Policy 2 of the Holme Valley Neighbourhood Plan
