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, including its effects on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land in it
- If the development is inappropriate, 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 the development
What decided it
The proposal would result in disproportionate additions to the original building in breach of paragraph 149(c) of the Framework, causing harm to Green Belt openness that was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
Framework references: 147, 148, 149
