Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- 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 appellants' evidence from a 1967 title plan showing the original building's footprint was substantially larger than the Council had assessed, resulting in the proposed extension being a 47% uplift rather than 62%, and therefore not disproportionate under NPPF paragraph 154(c).
Framework references: 154
Plan policies cited: Policy DP10, Policy DP13
