Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
if the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way 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 proposed extension would result in disproportionate additions to the original building in breach of paragraph 149(c) of the NPPF, constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt for which no very special circumstances exist to justify approval.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy ESD14
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 148Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
