Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether it would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • Its effect on openness of the Green Belt
  • If the scheme would be inappropriate development, whether any 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 the proposal

What decided it

The specific evidenced need for the extension to accommodate a disabled occupant's care requirements, combined with the contextually modest size of the proposed extension, constituted very special circumstances that clearly outweighed the harm to the Green Belt.
