Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether or not the proposed development preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the Kirkby Overblow Conservation Area
- If the proposed development is 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 required to justify the proposed development
What decided it
The extension does not result in a disproportionate addition to the original building and would enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area through appropriate design and materials.
