Inspector: Wilkinson H
Postcode: SL4 2FA

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 flooding
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 proposal qualifies as an extension under NPPF paragraph 154(c) rather than inappropriate development, as the detached building would be functionally related to the dwelling and represent only a modest, non-disproportionate addition.
