Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, 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 would result in disproportionate additions to the original building in the Green Belt, causing harm to openness that is not clearly outweighed by other considerations sufficient to demonstrate very special circumstances.
