Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect on the special landscape character of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
What decided it
The addition of large dormer windows to both the existing and extended roof would result in a disproportionate increase in building bulk that would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt and harm the AONB character, with no very special circumstances to justify approval.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GB2Policy GB15Policy CS20Policy CS22Policy LSQ1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149Paragraph 147Paragraph 148Paragraph 15
