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 proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- If there is any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would it be clearly outweighed by other considerations and would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt due to disproportionate additions, and the limited benefits do not clearly outweigh this harm and loss of openness to justify very special circumstances.
