Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, with due regard to openness
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regards to outlook and light
- The effect on the living conditions of residents of the appeal site in respect of amenity space
- The effect on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
- Would any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt as a disproportionate addition to the original building, and no very special circumstances exist to justify it.
What the Inspector cited

- Policy LP24Policy LP57
