Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
What decided it
The proposed extensions, although exceeding the 40% floorspace guideline, would not result in disproportionate additions because their modest form, bulk, and height would be visually subservient and contained within the existing built envelope, thus complying with NPPF paragraph 149(c) and local plan policy.
Framework references: 149
Plan policies cited: Policy RE2, Policy RD2
