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 it has upon 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 the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt by reason of disproportionate additions over 70% of the original building size, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh this substantial harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- RE2DM14
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 137Paragraph 147Paragraph 149
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
