Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the setting of Fieldgrove House, a Grade II listed building
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 garage's height, massing, scale, inappropriate doors and materials cause significant harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building that is not outweighed by any demonstrated public benefits, and it causes substantial harm to Green Belt openness with no very special circumstances to justify it.
