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 any other relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether any 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 outbuilding qualifies as partial redevelopment of previously developed land within the curtilage of Wayside Bungalow and causes only moderate harm to openness, thus meeting the exception at paragraph 154(g) of the Framework and not constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt.

Framework references: 154, 155

Plan policies cited: Policy GB1, Policy DC1, Policy DC6
