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.

Framework references: 154

Plan policies cited: Policy GB1, Policy D11

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
