Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would comprise inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and the development plan, including its effect on openness
- If it would comprise inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations that would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed development would result in a materially larger building than currently exists with a 35.9% volume increase, reducing the spatial and visual openness of the Green Belt, and the other considerations advanced did not clearly outweigh this substantial harm to justify very special circumstances.
