Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
- If the proposed extensions would amount to inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations, such as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposed extensions would amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm through disproportionate additions and loss of openness, combined with material detriment to character and appearance, which was not clearly outweighed by the fallback position or other considerations.
