Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt in terms of the current Framework and development plan policy
If the proposal would be inappropriate development whether the 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 necessary to justify it

What decided it

The cumulative effect of existing and proposed extensions would result in disproportionate additions to the original building, failing the exception under NPPF paragraph 149(c) and constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt that could not be justified by very special circumstances.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy ESD14
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 149
