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 and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on Little Burstead Conservation Area and the setting of a nearby Grade II* listed building
- 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 proposal would result in disproportionate additions to the original building in the Green Belt and would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the heritage assets and conservation area that was not outweighed by other considerations.
