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 and 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
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

What decided it

The proposal would not result in disproportionate additions to the original dwelling and would integrate well with the existing building's character while respecting the local vernacular within the AONB, with ecological impacts capable of mitigation through licensing and conditions.

Framework references: 149
