Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would represent inappropriate development in the Metropolitan Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies
What decided it
The disproportionate additions to the original dwelling, comprising approximately 90% increase in floor space and substantial increases in scale, massing, height and bulk, constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt that cannot be justified by very special circumstances.
Framework references: 147, 148, 149, 151
Plan policies cited: Policy P2 of the Guildford Borough Local Plan Strategy and Sites (2019)
