Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies and linked to this the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposed development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would result in disproportionate additions to the original building and would erode the openness of the Green Belt, and no very special circumstances exist to justify this inappropriate development.
