Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, 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 proposal would result in a disproportionate addition over and above the size of the original building and would harm the openness of the Green Belt, and the other considerations put forward were not sufficient to comprise the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development.
