Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would be inappropriate in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
- If the development would be inappropriate, 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 required to justify it
What decided it
The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm by reason of disproportionate additions, combined with significant harm to character and appearance, which was not clearly outweighed by the moderate weight afforded to the fallback position and the appellant's personal circumstances.
