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 any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the development is inappropriate, 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 cumulative effect of previous extensions combined with the proposed development results in disproportionate additions to the original building, making it inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify approval.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GP2Chapter 13
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 137Paragraph 147Paragraph 148Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
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.
