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
  • If so, 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 constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt by exceeding the 30% volume increase threshold, and the benefits (conservation area enhancement, previous permission, improved design, and permitted development rights considerations) do not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
