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
- 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 cumulative effect of extensions, resulting in the dwelling being more than double the original size, constituted disproportionate additions that could not be justified by the modest benefits offered.
Framework references: 149, 11
