Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed walkway would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
  • whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness 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 extensions would result in a disproportionate 143% increase in the original building's volume, constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it.

Framework references: 154

Plan policies cited: Policy DP10, Policy DP13
