Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed extension would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether any harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances to justify it
What decided it
The proposal would not result in disproportionate additions to the original building when assessed against the fallback position of the extant consent and the subservient design of the extensions, thereby according with NPPF paragraph 149(c) and not requiring justification by very special circumstances.
Framework references: 137, 149
