Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the Framework and the development plan policy
- Its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If it 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 the development
What decided it
The proposal would constitute disproportionate additions to the original building when assessed cumulatively with existing extensions, and the resulting harm to the Green Belt is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
The substantial weight given to harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, which attracted only neutral weight.
