- Phillips B
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and 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 host dwelling
- if the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The excessive depth of the proposed rear extension would make it disproportionate to the original building and visually dominant, causing harm to the Green Belt through inappropriateness and loss of openness, and harm to the character of the dwelling, with no very special circumstances to justify it.
