Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- if the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, 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 necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposed extensions would cause substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, combined with design harm to character and appearance, which was not clearly outweighed by other considerations sufficient to constitute very special circumstances.
