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, and the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- if there would be harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, whether the harm would be clearly outweighed by other considerations to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The disproportionate nature of the extension (99.12% increase in floorspace) constituted inappropriate development in the Green Belt, and the harm caused by inappropriateness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
The substantial weight afforded to harm caused by inappropriateness in the Green Belt was not outweighed by the absence of other harms or the negligible weight of the fallback position, such that very special circumstances did not exist.
