Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed extension would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the extension on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the extension on the character and appearance of 6 Woolings Row and the surrounding area
- if the extension would be inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The extension would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt by reason of disproportionate additions to the original building, and this substantial harm combined with unacceptable effects on character and appearance was not outweighed by other considerations.
