Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether varying the condition would lead to the proposed scheme being inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policy
What decided it
The harm to openness of the Green Belt would not be substantial because the loss of openness would be localised, the extension is confined to the rear, and views of the extended building would be limited due to existing screening and the dwelling's position within the plot.

- Development plan policies
- Policy PG 3Policy RUR 11Policy MP 1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 154Paragraph 55Paragraph 57
