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 development plan policy
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal would result in a disproportionate addition to the original dwelling causing substantial harm to both the spatial and visual openness of the Green Belt, which is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy H/13Policy S/4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 137Paragraph 148Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
