Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies; including the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property, having particular regard to the location of the site within the Chilterns National Landscape
  • whether the proposal would harm the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property to the east with regards to privacy
  • 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 necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal would cause moderate harm to the character and appearance of the non-designated heritage asset and would harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overlooking and loss of privacy, which were not outweighed by other considerations.

Framework references: 154, 155, 245
