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
- The effect of the proposal on the Chilterns Beechwoods SAC
- If the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances to justify it
What decided it
The cumulative effect of the proposed extension combined with previous additions would exceed the 50% threshold for disproportionate additions to the original dwelling, constituting inappropriate Green Belt development that could not be justified by very special circumstances.
