Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the revised scheme is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the revised scheme on the character and appearance of the area
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The substantial harm to Green Belt openness caused by the significantly larger building design was not clearly outweighed by other considerations sufficient to demonstrate very special circumstances required to justify inappropriate development.
