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
If the proposal is inappropriate development, 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 proposed rear extension is of such small scale that it would not result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building, and therefore does not constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy S4
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 149Paragraph 149CParagraph 176

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
