Why it was refused
- The proposed extension, by reason of its scale, width and cumulative massing when taken with existing extensions, would result in a disproportionate addition to the original dwelling. The development would therefore constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt, which is, by definition, harmful to its openness. In addition, the excessive scale and bulk of the extension would have a harmful impact on the openness of the Green Belt and would conflict with the purposes of including land within it. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated that would clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt and any other harm identified. The proposal is therefore contrary to policy GB1 of the Calderdale Local Plan and Section 13 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
