- Inspector

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development within the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies, and its effects on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the development is inappropriate, 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 the development
What decided it
The proposed garage falls within the exception for extensions under NPPF paragraph 154(c) as it would not represent a disproportionate addition to the original building and would be sympathetically designed with appropriate materials.
Framework references: 152, 154, 182
