Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework 2023 and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Surrey Hills National Landscape
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed extensions constitute disproportionate additions to the original building in terms of floorspace, scale and massing, resulting in inappropriate development in the Green Belt that cannot be justified by very special circumstances.
