Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to relevant development plan policies and the Framework and the effect upon the openness
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding 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 proposal
What decided it
The proposed development would not result in a disproportionate addition over and above the existing dwelling, as it would increase the original volume by approximately 19.6 cubic metres, which does not exceed the 25% volume increase threshold, and therefore does not constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
