Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not 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 character and appearance of the local area and the appeal property bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Seale Conservation Area
What decided it
The outbuilding qualifies as limited infilling within a village under the Green Belt exception, and its design, materials, and positioning ensure it preserves the character and appearance of the conservation area.
