Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development for the purposes of the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
If the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reasons of inappropriateness, along with any other harm resulting from the proposal is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it

What decided it

The existence of a fallback permitted development position for roof additions, combined with the precedent of the neighbouring property's approval and the visual rebalancing benefits to the semi-detached pair, created very special circumstances that clearly outweighed the harm from inappropriate development.
