Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development 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
- 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 cumulative increase in floor area of 244.36% above the original building significantly exceeds the policy threshold of 140m² and constitutes disproportionate harm to the Green Belt that is not clearly outweighed by the limited benefits of the proposal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BDP4.4Policy BDP4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 154
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
