Why it was refused

  1. The proposal does would result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building and therefore would not meet any of the specified exceptions a to g set out in paragraph 154 of the NPPF. The proposed development is therefore inappropriate within the Green Belt. There are no very special circumstances which outweigh the harm arising from the proposal. The proposal does not therefore comply with Part 13 of the NPPF or Local Plan policies CLP1 and CLP15. Statement of Positive and Pro-active Working with Applicant In accordance with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) (Amendment No. 2) Order 2015 and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, 2024) as the proposed development does conflict with the NPPF and with ‘up-to-date’ policies of the Local Plan, it is not considered to be ‘sustainable development’ to which the presumption in favour of the development applies.

From the council's decision notice.
