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 proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of the property known as Shardon, with respect to outlook
- the effect of the development on biodiversity
- 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 extensions would constitute disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building, resulting in inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would reduce openness, and no very special circumstances were demonstrated to justify this harm.
