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 relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- The effect on the Charlton on Otmoor Conservation Area and setting of the Grade I listed church of St Mary the Virgin and other listed buildings
- 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 satisfies the Green Belt exception for extensions that do not result in disproportionate additions, as the physical bulk of the addition relative to the original cottage would not be disproportionate despite exceeding a 50% volume increase.
