Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal 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 proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt by resulting in a disproportionate addition over-and-above the size of the original building when considered cumulatively with the 1987 extension, and this harm was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
