Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, whether 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 proposal
What decided it
The proposal exceeds the 30% volume increase threshold and constitutes disproportionate and inappropriate development in the Green Belt, with the resulting harm not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
