Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies

What decided it

The Inspector's conclusion that the cowstalls, as a pre-1948 building, should not be treated as equivalent to new extensions when assessing disproportionality, and that the modest scale and discrete location of the proposed extension would not harmfully encroach on Green Belt openness.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DS18Policy H14
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 142Paragraph 152Paragraph 154Paragraph 155
