Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
- If the development is inappropriate, whether any 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 it
What decided it
The cumulative extensions constitute disproportionate additions to the original building and cause substantial harm to Green Belt openness and purposes, which is not clearly outweighed by the limited weight afforded to the appellant's material considerations.
