Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • If so, the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • 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 proposal

What decided it

The proposal would cumulatively result in disproportionate additions to the original building in breach of paragraph 149c) of the Framework, and the harm to Green Belt openness and inappropriateness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.

Framework references: 11, 148, 149

Plan policies cited: Policy SD
