Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt in terms of the Framework, 2021 and development plan policy
- If the proposal would be inappropriate development 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 necessary to justify it
What decided it
The cumulative effect of existing and proposed extensions would result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building, failing the exception under NPPF paragraph 149(c), and the harm to the Green Belt was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and moderate harm to openness were not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances did not exist to justify the development.
