Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of development plan policy and the Framework
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- if it is inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal would constitute inappropriate development causing disproportionate additions to the original building and harm to Green Belt openness, with no other considerations clearly outweighing this harm to justify very special circumstances.
Framework references: 154
