Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the Framework and development plan policy
- if identified as inappropriate development, the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt, and 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed increase in gross external area would be less than 50% of the existing building and would not constitute a disproportionate addition, thereby qualifying as an exception to inappropriate development under paragraph 149(c) of the Framework.
