Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
if the proposal is found to be inappropriate development, 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 required to justify the development

What decided it

The extension qualifies as permitted development under NPPF paragraph 149(c) as it would not result in a disproportionate addition to the original building and would not adversely affect the openness or purposes of the Green Belt.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy 3Policy 10GB4DC2
