Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal 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 proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether any harm by reasons 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 site-specific factors—particularly the two-storey design limiting footprint, the extension not exceeding 50% of the host dwelling's depth, and alignment with the adjoining extension—meant the proposal was not a disproportionate addition despite the 60% volume increase, bringing it within the Paragraph 154(c) exception.
