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

What decided it

The demolition of the existing conservatory to make way for the orangery would offset the increase in footprint and floorspace, resulting in only a very modest net increase that would not constitute a disproportionate addition over and above the size of the original building.
