Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
If the proposal is 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 100% increase in volume of the original dwelling when combined with previous extensions constitutes a disproportionate addition under paragraph 149(c) of the Framework, and the harm to the Green Belt is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
