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 proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the landscape and scenic beauty of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Area of Great Landscape Value

What decided it

The proposed gazebo, assessed as an extension rather than inappropriate development, would not result in a disproportionate addition to the dwelling and would not cause harmful visual impact on the AONB or character of the area.
