Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area, including the Stock Conservation Area
- If the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would clearly be outweighed by any other considerations, amounting to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed development would result in disproportionate additions to the original dwelling and constitute inappropriate Green Belt development that would harm openness and the character of the Conservation Area, with no very special circumstances to justify approval.
