Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would amount to inappropriate development within the Green Belt
  • Whether there would be any other harm to the Green Belt
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • 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 necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal would result in disproportionate additions to the original building that would substantially reduce openness of the Green Belt and harm character and appearance, with no very special circumstances to justify the inappropriate development.

Framework references: 154
