  • Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies

What decided it

The modest scale of the garden extension, its proximity to the dwelling, and the containment of domestic encroachment to a defined area closely associated with the existing dwelling preserve the openness of the Green Belt and do not conflict with its purposes.
