Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- 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 very special circumstances arising from the property's unusual layout, the reasonable household need for a garage, the modest scale and appropriate siting within the established curtilage, and the acceptable character and appearance of the development clearly outweighed the identified harm to Green Belt openness and inappropriateness.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS1, Policy D23
