Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the scheme would be inappropriate development, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify it
What decided it
The cumulative volumetric increase of 42.5% from the original building, exceeding policy thresholds and constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would reduce openness, with no very special circumstances to justify it.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy S4 of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (2021)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 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.
