Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal 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
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the surrounding area including the Chilterns National Landscape
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the resulting harm and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The cumulative effect of previous extensions meant the appeal property was already more than twice the size of the original building, making the proposed extension a disproportionate addition that could not be justified by the absence of visual harm or modest scale of the extension itself.
