Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Ashworth S
Postcode: WA15 8QN

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The cumulative disproportionality of extensions (111% increase over original dwelling) constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, and the private benefits advanced do not amount to very special circumstances to outweigh the substantial weight given to Green Belt harm.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy R4 of the Trafford Core Strategy 2012
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 149
