Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal would result in a disproportionate addition to the original building (approximately 100% increase in volume), constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt, and the benefits claimed do not amount to very special circumstances sufficient to outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt.
