Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed extension is inappropriate development within the Green Belt including its effect upon openness
  • If the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances to justify development

What decided it

The proposed development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt by reason of disproportionate additions to the original building, and the harm caused by this inappropriateness and impact on openness is not clearly outweighed by other considerations to justify very special circumstances.
