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 any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The cumulative effect of the proposed extension alongside previous additions would constitute a disproportionate addition to the original building, failing to meet the exception test in NPPF paragraph 154(c) and resulting in harm to Green Belt openness that was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
