Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed extension, together with previous extensions added to the property, would constitute 'inappropriate development' in the Green Belt
- If so, whether there are other considerations which clearly outweigh the harm caused by being inappropriate development so as to amount to very special circumstances
What decided it
The cumulative volume of extensions proposed, when added to previous extensions, would result in disproportionate additions to the original dwelling that cannot be justified as very special circumstances in the Green Belt.
