Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- Its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 necessary to justify it
What decided it
The cumulative effect of previous and proposed extensions would result in disproportionate additions to the original building, constituting inappropriate development that causes substantial harm to Green Belt openness which is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
