Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal 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
- the effect of the proposal upon biodiversity and protected species
- 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 results in disproportionate additions to the original building and causes harmful loss of openness to the Green Belt, with no evidence that other considerations clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
