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
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether any 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 scale of the proposed extensions would be disproportionate to the original building and would cause harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and limited harm to its openness, with no very special circumstances identified to justify the development.
