Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • if inappropriate development, the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether or not it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cookham Dean Conservation Area
  • if inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the 'very special circumstances' which would be necessary to justify it

What decided it

The disproportionate addition to the original building size, combined with harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, could not be justified by the limited benefits to the occupiers.
