Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be for residential purposes integral to the residential use of the main dwellinghouse
  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling
  • whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt by reason of disproportionate additions to the original building, and the moderate weight given to the personal circumstances of the appellant's family does not clearly outweigh the substantial weight required to be given to Green Belt harm.
