Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal 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
- 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 the proposed garage alongside existing extensions would result in a disproportionate addition to the original building in breach of Policy DM11, and the harm to Green Belt openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
Framework references: 154
Plan policies cited: Policy DM6, Policy DM11, Policy S11
