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 of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposed glazed link would result in minimal net floorspace and volume increases and would appear subservient and well-integrated with the existing building, thereby meeting the exception in NPPF paragraph 149(c) for extensions that do not represent disproportionate additions to the original building.
