Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the dwelling and wider area
  • 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 constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with disproportionate additions to the original building, and the limited weight that could be attached to acceptable character and appearance is insufficient to clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt required to establish very special circumstances.
