Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • Its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
  • If it would be 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 it

What decided it

The proposed extension would be disproportionate to the original building under Policy GB1 and would cause harm to the Green Belt through inappropriateness and loss of openness, which was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy GB1 of the Halton Delivery and Allocations Local Plan (2022)
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 154Paragraph 155
