Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development within 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
- The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
- If the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether or not the 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 necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would constitute disproportionate additions to the original building in breach of Green Belt policy, causing substantial harm to openness and character that was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
