Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 63 Shepherds Hill with regard to outlook
What decided it
The modest scale, design, and siting of the extensions, particularly the set-back first-floor side extension which is narrower and shorter than the main dwelling, ensure the proposal would not result in disproportionate additions to the original building and would remain subordinate within the street scene.
Framework references: 154
