Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed extension would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
  • if the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether any harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances to justify it

What decided it

The consistency with the neighbouring property's approved extension of similar scale, combined with the demolition of the existing side extension and the proposal's compatibility with the surrounding built form, provided very special circumstances that clearly outweighed the harm to the Green Belt.
