Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Shenley Conservation Area

What decided it

The extension's subordinate design, set-back position, lower ridge height and limited width meant it would not be a disproportionate addition to the Green Belt property and would preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
