Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
If the development is inappropriate, 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 a disproportionate addition to the original building that would demonstrably increase the scale of built development on the site, failing to meet the exceptions in paragraph 154(c) of the Framework and Policy GB1 of the Local Plan, and no very special circumstances exist to justify the inappropriate development.

What the Inspector cited

National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 153Paragraph 154Paragraph 151
