®Planning appeal decision
Castle Villa, Millers Lane, Outwood, Redhill, Surrey, RH1 5QB
Planning appeal 3342602 at Castle Villa, Millers Lane, Outwood, Redhill, Surrey, RH1 5QB (Tandridge District Council) was allowed on 10 February 2025 by Inspector Moore J, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies.
Demolition of two-storey rear extension and erection of new replacement two-storey rear extension to extend 6m from the rear of the original house at ground floor level, and 3m & 4m from the rear of the house at first floor level. To include 1 balcony and 1 Juliette balcony and new rooflights in main roof

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- 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 appellants' evidence from a 1967 title plan showing the original building's footprint was substantially larger than the Council had assessed, resulting in the proposed extension being a 47% uplift rather than 62%, and therefore not disproportionate under NPPF paragraph 154(c).
