Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework, December 2023, and relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The removal of a pre-existing detached structure of similar size to the unauthorised extension offset the cumulative size increase and eliminated visual harm, rendering the development not inappropriate in the Green Belt.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM16Policy G2CS1.F
