Appeal Allowed for house extension in the Green Belt – Warfield

We submitted an appeal following refusal by BFBC for a modest house extension to a dwelling in the Green Belt.  The Appeal has been Allowed – the Inspector agreed that whilst the extension would have resulted in a 60% increase, it was in character with the host dwelling and did not harm the openness of the Green Belt.

I have been involved with this property for a number of years and following another refusal from the LPA, the Inspectorate allowed our appeal to extend the dwellinghouse with a modest first floor extension to enable a bathroom to be located on the first floor.  A really good result. ​
