Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policy and the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the house and area generally
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to privacy
- If the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, combined with harm to character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions, was not clearly outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances.
