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 host dwelling
  • 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 proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to its openness and to the character and appearance of the host dwelling, and the other considerations advanced did not clearly outweigh this totality of harm to establish very special circumstances.
