Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposed development on trees
  • if the development is inappropriate, 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 proposed development

What decided it

The proposed extension would not be disproportionate to the original building and would be limited in extent relative to The Grange, therefore constituting permitted development in the Green Belt that accords with CS Policy CS5.

Framework references: 154

Plan policies cited: CS5, CS11, CS12, Saved Policy 99
