Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt and the character and appearance of the area
- whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt by reason of disproportionate additions, to which substantial weight must be given, and this harm is not outweighed by very special circumstances.
the substantial harm by reason of inappropriateness and moderate harm to openness and character were not outweighed by the minimal benefit of additional accommodation, resulting in no very special circumstances to justify the proposal
