Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development 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 development on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the development is inappropriate development, 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 the development
What decided it
The cumulative harm to Green Belt openness from the disproportionate 81% increase in floorspace, which is not clearly outweighed by the moderate weight afforded to the appellant's very special circumstances arguments.
Framework references: 153, 154
