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
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • if there is harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would it be clearly outweighed by other considerations and amount to very special circumstances

What decided it

The proposal would result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building, constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt that cannot be justified by very special circumstances.

What the Inspector cited
