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 any relevant development plan policies
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and the openness of the Green Belt
  • Whether the proposal would be an independent dwellinghouse
  • Whether the proposal would provide an adequate standard of living conditions for future residential occupiers, with particular regard to overlooking and privacy
  • 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 outbuilding constitutes re-use of an approved building of permanent and substantial construction that preserves Green Belt openness and does not conflict with Green Belt purposes, and functions as a residential annex ancillary to the host dwelling rather than an independent dwelling.
