Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed infill dormer extensions on the character and appearance of the house and the area
- The effect of the proposal on protected species
- Whether any 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 failure to provide sufficient information to demonstrate that the proposal would not have an adverse effect on protected species, combined with the inappropriate nature of the development in the Green Belt and limited harm to character and appearance, meant that very special circumstances could not be demonstrated.
