Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The retention and reuse of the original concrete portal frame sub-structure meant the works constituted an alteration rather than a rebuild, bringing the development within the NPPF paragraph 149(c) exception for alterations to buildings in the Green Belt.
Framework references: 147, 149
