Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.
Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm.
Great Milton Conservation Area conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
