Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal 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
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and on the setting of a nearby Grade II listed building
- whether the 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 proposal would result in a disproportionate addition over and above the size of the original building when considered cumulatively with previous extensions, and the harm to Green Belt openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
Framework references: 154
