Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the extension constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- Its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- Its effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area
- If it is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The extension constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building, and the harm to the Green Belt is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
