Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies.

What decided it

The proposed extensions do not constitute disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building under NPPF paragraph 149c, and the Framework as an important material consideration outweighs the inconsistent development plan policy.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Saved Policy GB3 of the East Dorset Local Plan adopted 11 January 2002
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 149

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
