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 proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed garage's footprint of approximately 73 square metres would constitute a disproportionate addition over and above the size of the original building, failing to meet the exception test in NPPF paragraph 154(c) and thus being inappropriate development in the Green Belt that cannot be justified by the appellant's personal circumstances.
