Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed outbuilding would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed outbuilding would have an unacceptably harmful effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area due to its overall size and prominent position, contrary to the development plan and NPPF design requirements.
