Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
  • The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surroundings
  • If the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it

What decided it

The proposed extension would constitute disproportionate development in the Green Belt contrary to Policy TB01 and paragraph 149 of the Framework, and the harm to openness and the Green Belt was not clearly outweighed by other considerations to justify very special circumstances.
