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
- 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 result in disproportionate additions to the original building and cause moderate harm to the openness of the Green Belt, which was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, meaning very special circumstances did not exist.
