Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation
Representation ID: 402
Received: 02/10/2013
Respondent: JTS Partnership LLP
Representation Summary:
This policy needs to be substantially reviewed so that it accords with NPPF guidance and is therefore unsound. Paragraph 89 of the NPPF makes it clear that the following classes of development may be appropriate in the Green Belt:- the extension or alteration of a building provided that it does not result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building.
The way that the policy is currently worded, suggests the Council will only grant permission for residential extensions in the Green Belt in 'very special circumstances'.
