Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- Whether any 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The development would not result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building when assessed against Framework Paragraph 149C, having regard to the moderate increase in footprint, minor height increase, and design features that limit visual prominence.
Framework references: 149, 149C, 11
Plan policies cited: Policy C13, Policy CS02
