Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The proposed extension would result in a 29% increase in floorspace, considerably exceeding the 10% limit in Policy 51 of the Local Plan, constituting disproportionate and inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it.
Framework references: 148, 149
