Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would be inappropriate in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- If inappropriate development, 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 necessary to justify the proposal in the Green Belt
What decided it
The extensive nature of the proposed works, constituting substantial and significant alterations tantamount to new build rather than re-use of a building, rendered the development inappropriate in the Green Belt, and the modest economic and openness benefits did not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
