Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal to vary condition 5 would result in a development which amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect that the proposal to vary condition 5 would have on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- 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 proposal would result in inappropriate development in the Green Belt by permitting disproportionate cumulative extensions exceeding the 30% volumetric threshold, and the personal circumstances of the appellant's relative, while engaged with human rights and equality law, do not clearly outweigh this substantial Green Belt harm.
