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 surroundings of the Follifoot Conservation Area
  • Whether the development would have an adverse impact on highway safety as a result of the proposed parking provision for the property

What decided it

The extension proposals met the Green Belt proportionality test as a non-disproportionate addition to the original building, and with appropriate conditions controlling materials and parking details, would not harm the Conservation Area or highway safety.

Framework references: 154, 205

Plan policies cited: Policy GS4, Policy HS8, Policy HP2, Policy TI3, Policy HS8A
