Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed garage would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies
- Effects on the openness of the Green Belt
- Effects on the character and appearance of the area
- 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 proposed detached garage
What decided it
The proposed detached garage constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would cause substantial harm to openness and character, with no very special circumstances advanced to justify it, whereas the garage conversion involves only reuse of existing floorspace and is therefore acceptable.
