- Inspector
- Thandi B
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 on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The cumulative 173% increase in floorspace resulting from the proposed extension, taken together with previous extensions, constitutes disproportionate additions to the original building contrary to the Framework's Green Belt exception criteria.
Framework references: 154, 155
