Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • If it is inappropriate development whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The cumulative effect of the proposed extension combined with the existing two-storey extension would constitute a disproportionate addition to the original building, and the identified harms to the Green Belt and character of the area are not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
