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
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the dwelling and wider area, including the significance of the Quatford Conservation Area
  • If the proposal is inappropriate development, 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 proposal fails the disproportionate additions test in NPPF paragraph 154(c) as the existing dwelling's footprint has already almost doubled from its original size through previous extensions, and the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
