Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal 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 proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and 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 proposed basement extension would not result in a disproportionate addition over and above the size of the original building when properly assessed, and would not harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling or Green Belt due to its concealed nature and the substantial size of the property and plot.
