Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, with due regard to openness
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
  • The effect on protected trees

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to character and appearance arising from the building's clumsy top-heavy design, awkward scale and massing, combined with unacceptable harm to protected trees through proximity to their root protection areas, outweighed the conclusion that the proposal was not inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
