Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any other relevant plan policies
the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
whether 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 required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal would constitute a disproportionate addition to the original building in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances demonstrated to outweigh the resulting harm.

Development plan policies: Policy SC7
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 149
