Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The disproportionate cumulative increase in building volume (88%) combined with harm to Green Belt openness could not be clearly outweighed by the material considerations advanced, and no very special circumstances were established to justify the inappropriate development.
