Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant Development Plan policies, including its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of The Old Cottage with regard to outlook
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for its occupiers with regard to outlook
- if the proposal is inappropriate, whether the 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 proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would significantly harm openness and character and appearance, with insufficient other considerations to clearly outweigh this harm and establish very special circumstances.
