Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of development plan policy and the National Planning Policy Framework
- the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposed development would be 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 it
What decided it
The proposal would constitute disproportionate additions to the original dwelling contrary to the NPPF exception for extensions, and would cause harm to Green Belt openness that was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 154
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
