Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the NPPF, 2024, and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt and on its character
- Whether the proposed annex would be capable of separation from the existing dwelling
- If the proposed development would amount to inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations, such as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt through inappropriateness, loss of openness and harm to character was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances did not exist.
