Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the hip-to-gable extension would be inappropriate development for the purposes of development plan policy and the National Planning Policy Framework
- the effect of the hip-to-gable extension on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposal would be 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 it
What decided it
The cumulative disproportionate increase in the size of the building through the hip-to-gable extension, combined with substantial harm to Green Belt openness, was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances did not exist to justify the extension.
