Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and the development plan
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The cumulative effect of the proposed extension with previous alterations would result in a disproportionate increase in the volume of the original building, constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt that is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GE6Guideline 9 of the Designing House Extensions – Supplementary Planning Guidance
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 147Paragraph 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.
