Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed extension is inappropriate development within the Green Belt
- The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
- If the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances to justify development
What decided it
The proposed garage would constitute a close physical extension to the original dwellinghouse rather than inappropriate new building development in the Green Belt, and would not result in disproportionate additions to the original building.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CS.10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 152Paragraph 154
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
