Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including the effect on openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- Whether the proposed development would constitute a separate unit of residential accommodation rather than an ancillary use
- The effect on the character and appearance of the appeal property
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, 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 proposal satisfied the exception in NPPF paragraph 154g as redevelopment of previously developed land that would not have a greater impact on openness of the Green Belt than the existing development, thereby avoiding inappropriate development status.
