Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
If the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, or any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development

What decided it

The development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that is disproportionate to the original building and harms openness, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to justify it.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy EE14
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 154
