Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- If it 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 necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal would result in a disproportionate addition to the original building in the Green Belt, and the harm caused is not clearly outweighed by other considerations to justify very special circumstances.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy OL2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 147Paragraph 148Paragraph 149
