Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and, if so, whether its harm by reason of inappropriateness and other harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances
What decided it
The cumulative effect of the porch with existing extensions would result in disproportionate additions (80-85% increase) over and above the original dwelling, constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial weight to that harm that is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DS18Policy H14
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
