- Procedure

- residential · Householder developments
- Inspector
- Glassar S
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The cumulative 153.7% increase in building size over the original dwelling constitutes disproportionate additions that cannot be justified by the limited weight afforded to other considerations, and very special circumstances do not therefore exist.
Framework references: 137, 149, 150
Plan policies cited: Policy GB1 of the Sevenoaks Allocations and Development Management Plan 2015
