®Planning appeal decision
Penningtons, Arrowsmith Road, Poole, BH21 3BD
Planning appeal 3322191 at Penningtons, Arrowsmith Road, Poole, BH21 3BD (Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole) was dismissed on 18 December 2023 by Inspector Rose C, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies.
We propose to build a 2 storey rear extension and first storey extension to the rear of the property in keeping with the character of the existing building. The proposal seeks to modernise and update the house for continued residential use

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal upon biodiversity and protected species
- 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 results in disproportionate additions to the original building and causes harmful loss of openness to the Green Belt, with no evidence that other considerations clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
