Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If inappropriate, would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations, and if so would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The cumulative floor area of the proposed extension together with the previously built rear extension would exceed the 30% disproportionality threshold in Policy H14, and the limited positive weight of other considerations did not clearly outweigh the substantial weight given to harm to the Green Belt.
Framework references: 149, 148
