Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development 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
- If the proposed development 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 extensions already approved and constructed under the certificate of lawful development, combined with other works that could be carried out as permitted development, clearly outweighed the harm to the Green Belt and established very special circumstances to justify the proposal.

- Policy STRAT 9Policy DM21
