Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of varying the condition on whether the development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt

What decided it

The proposed extensions, when assessed holistically in terms of form, bulk, mass, and site constraints rather than percentage floor area increase alone, would not constitute disproportionate additions to the original building and therefore fall within the NPPF paragraph 154(c) exception for extensions in the Green Belt.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy P2
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 154

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
