Representation Summary:
This policy needs to be substantially reviewed as it is inconsistent with NPPF guidance and, accordingly, is unsound.The way that the policy is currently worded, suggests that the Council will only grant permission for residential extensions in the Green Belt in 'very special circumstances'.
Clearly, however, 'very special circumstances' do not need to be proven for appropriate development - i.e. an extension or alteration to a residential building that does not result in a disproportionate addition. The policy must be reworded to reflect NPPF guidance (Paragraph 89).
