Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of development plan policy and the Framework
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- if it is inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal does not result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building and therefore constitutes a permitted extension rather than inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM11
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 154
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
