Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal 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 substantial weight attached to Green Belt harm by reason of inappropriateness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and therefore very special circumstances did not exist to justify the extensions and alterations to the main dwelling.
