Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of amending the conditions, with particular regard to the enlarged lightwell on the Green Belt, including whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- If the development is inappropriate, 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 enlarged and enclosed lightwell would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt and result in moderate harm to openness, which is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
