Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to any relevant development plan policies and the National Planning Policy Framework
if the proposed development is inappropriate development, its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
if the development is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations that amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would cause moderate harm to spatial openness and limited harm to visual openness, and would harm the character and appearance of the original dwelling and area, with these harms not clearly outweighed by other considerations including the fallback position.
