Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the 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 extension would result in a 50% increase in floorspace, meeting the House Extensions SPG guidance threshold and therefore not constituting a disproportionate addition under Framework paragraph 154(c), whilst causing no harm to character and appearance.
Framework references: 154
Plan policies cited: Policy WS1, Policy WD5
