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 reasons 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 proposal constitutes inappropriate development harmful to the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, as the extensions substantially exceed the 30% volume threshold and would materially harm the openness of the Green Belt.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy 8 of the Part 2 Local Plan 2018-2028
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 148Paragraph 149
