Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal 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 effect of the proposed extension, combined with previous extensions, would result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building in breach of NPPF paragraph 154(c) and Policy DM14, causing harm to the Green Belt that could not be clearly outweighed by other considerations.
