Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed extension would amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances to justify it
What decided it
The cumulative spatial harm to the Green Belt from the disproportionate expansion of the dwelling, combined with moderate harm to openness, was not clearly outweighed by other considerations and therefore very special circumstances did not exist.
