Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the Framework and development plan policy
- The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect on the character and appearance of the host building and the countryside setting to the appeal site
What decided it
The cumulative scale of extensions amounting to approximately 150% increase over the original building constitutes disproportionate and inappropriate development in the Green Belt that cannot be justified by the limited weight of the appellant's offered mitigations.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GB1Policy D11
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 154
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
