- Procedure
- Written Representations
- Development
- residential · Householder developments
- Inspector
- Eggleton P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would amount to inappropriate development within the Green Belt
- Whether there would be any other harm to the Green Belt
- Whether it would result in harm to the setting of heritage assets
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal does not represent inappropriate development within the Green Belt as the extension to the main house results in only a 7% volume increase, which is not disproportionate, and the design is of a high standard with no harm to heritage assets or character.
