Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the Framework and development plan policy
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- If the development is inappropriate, whether the harm, by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, and if so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would result in a disproportionate addition of significantly more than 33% to the original building, constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it.
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and moderate harm to openness, together with harm to character and appearance, were not clearly outweighed by the other considerations advanced, and very special circumstances do not exist.
