Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the extension is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, with regard to local and national policies
- The effect of the extension on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the extension is 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 required to justify the extension
What decided it
The extension constitutes a disproportionate addition to the original building (21.4% increase in floor area) and is therefore inappropriate development in the Green Belt, with no very special circumstances to justify it.
