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 area and whether it would preserve or enhance the Holyport Conservation Area
  • on the basis that the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances required to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal would result in disproportionate additions to the original building and would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt and significant harm to the conservation area.
