Why it was refused
- The proposed carport would represent inappropriate development within the Green Belt by reason of the proposed development resulting in a disproportionate addition over and above the original building, contrary to GB7 (b) of the National Planning Policy Framework 2026, and Local Plan Policy MG02. There are no matters in support of the application which would clearly outweigh the harm the development would cause through inappropriateness and reduction in openness of the Green Belt, within which the site is located. Therefore, no very special circumstances exist to justify the grant of planning permission for the inappropriate development.
From the council's decision notice.
