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 proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the resulting harm and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt by virtue of disproportionate additions to the original building, causing substantial harm to openness and character, which was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
