Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt
What decided it
The proposal, when assessed in its specific site context with consideration of its split-level design, partial below-ground construction, visual screening, and subservient appearance relative to the parent dwelling, would not constitute a disproportionate addition despite exceeding the SPD's 30% threshold.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149
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.
