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
What decided it
The visual impact of the extension, when considered cumulatively with previous additions, would be subservient and well-integrated with the existing building, and due to its rear location and screening would not be readily visible from public viewpoints, meaning it would not constitute a disproportionate addition over and above the size of the original building.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GS4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 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.
