Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the proposal would be inappropriate, 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 the development
What decided it
The proposed extension represents a 28% volume increase, which falls within the 30% guideline threshold for proportionate additions and therefore meets the exception at Paragraph 149(c) of the Framework.
