Postcode: SL5 0LD

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development within the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework (2021) and any relevant development plan policies
the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
whether any 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 constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt by resulting in a disproportionate addition to the original building, and the limited benefits from removing outbuildings and accommodating family needs do not clearly outweigh the substantial harm required to be given to Green Belt inappropriateness.
