Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to national and local policies, including its effect upon openness
- 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 proposals would not cause substantial harm to Green Belt openness because the increase in floorspace and volume would be largely subterranean with limited external visibility, while the consolidation of built form would reduce overall footprint and hardstanding compared to the existing situation.
