Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The limited scale of the proposed alterations, with lower ridge and eaves heights than the original building, would not be disproportionate to the original building and would remain subservient to it, satisfying Green Belt protection aims and character and appearance requirements.
