Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • Whether the 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 proposal would result in a significant loss of openness of the Green Belt through the increased scale and mass of the dwelling and the extensive domestic garden area, and this substantial harm to the Green Belt is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
