Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the extension is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The extension results in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building in breach of Policy PMD6 and Framework paragraph 149c, causing harm to Green Belt openness that is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
Framework references: 149, 11
Plan policies cited: Policy PMD6, Policy PMD61
