Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development 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 development on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the 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 proposed garage would not constitute a disproportionate addition to the original dwelling by reason of its low volume, low roof height, linear form and timber construction, and therefore falls within the exception in NPPF paragraph 149(c) for extensions that do not result in disproportionate additions.
Framework references: 147, 149
