Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the NPPF 2024 and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the proposed development would amount to inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations, such as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The cumulative effect of extensions resulting in a building more than 100% larger than the original dwelling constitutes disproportionate development in the Green Belt that cannot be justified by the personal circumstances advanced.
