Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including its effect on openness and the purposes of including land within the Green Belt
- whether the development provides acceptable living conditions for occupiers with regard to natural light and outlook
- 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 development
What decided it
The development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial adverse weight, combined with unacceptable living conditions due to lack of natural light and outlook in a basement bedroom, and these harms are not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
