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
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, having regard to whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cutthorpe Conservation Area
- 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 proposal results in disproportionate additions to the original building in breach of NPPF paragraph 154(c) and causes harm to the Green Belt's openness and the conservation area's character that cannot be justified by very special circumstances.
