Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of 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 extensions would result in disproportionate additions to the original building (142% cumulative increase), constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm to openness that was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness was not clearly outweighed by the limited weight afforded to family accommodation needs, design quality, and the unsubstantiated permitted development fallback position.
