Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the development plan and the Framework
  • 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 and the surrounding area
  • if the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it

What decided it

The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt by reason of disproportionate additions exceeding the 30% volume threshold, and the harm from inappropriateness is not clearly outweighed by other considerations to constitute very special circumstances.

Plan policies cited: Policy G2 of the London Plan, Policy 24 of the Local Plan, Policy 28 of the Local Plan
