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 2021 and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- 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 effect of the extensions, particularly the raised mansard roof with increased eaves height combined with two-storey extensions, amounts to disproportionate additions to the original building that cause substantial harm to Green Belt openness which is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
