Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
Whether any harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it

What decided it

The fallback position of permitted development (garden room and loft conversion) would result in greater dispersal and loss of openness than the consolidated appeal scheme, constituting very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm from inappropriateness.

Development plan policies: GB1GB10
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 154Paragraph 156Paragraph 219
