| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The proposed extensions represent a disproportionate addition to the dwelling, when combined with existing extensions, and are therefore inappropriate development in the Green Belt, and have a materially adverse effect on the openness of the Green Belt. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated to overcome the harm caused by the inappropriate development, and other harm caused, and consequently the proposal is in conflict with Policies CS4 ‘Green Belt,’ SP2 ‘Development in the Green Belt’ and SP4 ‘Extensions to Buildings in the Green Belt’ as well as with the NPPF.
POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
Whilst the applicant entered into pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority these identified that it is not possible to support a scheme of this nature and no amendments have been identified at this time to make it acceptable. The application was submitted on the basis of these discussions and it was not considered to be in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework resulting in this refusal.
