Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed extension would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • The effect on the openness of the Green Belt and its purposes
  • The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the building and area
  • If the proposed extension constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposed extension would result in a 125% increase in floor area over the original building, substantially exceeding the 30% threshold for disproportionate additions in Policy DM21 and paragraph 149c) of the Framework, and the harm to the Green Belt and character and appearance was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
