Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development for the purposes of development plan policy and the National Planning Policy Framework
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The cumulative scale of extensions would be disproportionate to the original building and cause harm to the Green Belt that is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances do not exist.
The substantial weight attached to harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and reduction in openness was not outweighed by the limited weight given to fallback arguments and private benefits of improved internal arrangement.
