Why it was refused
- The proposal represents a disproportionate addition to the dwelling by resulting in a cumulative increase in floorspace which is significantly more than that of the original building, and no very special circumstances have been demonstrated. The proposal would result in unacceptable harm to the essential characteristic of openness of the green belt and would therefore represent inappropriate development within the Green Belt. As such the proposal fails to comply with policy GBR1 of the East Herts District Plan 2018 and Section 13 of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
