- Authority

- Appeal type
- householder · Householder (HAS)
- Procedure
- Written Representations
- Development
- residential · Householder developments
- Inspector
- Szymanski D
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development upon the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposed development is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, and if so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The considerable enhancement to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area resulting from removal of negative features and replacement with a well-designed extension clearly outweighed the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and openness.
