Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the Framework
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on trees within the site
  • if it 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 necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal would be materially larger than the existing dwelling by reason of its greater bulk, height, scale and massing, constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it.

The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, given substantial weight, was not clearly outweighed by minor weight afforded to increased family accommodation, limited social and economic benefits, and a fallback position with uncertain implementation prospects.
