Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposals constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the Framework and development plan policies, including their effect on openness
Whether any 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 required to justify the proposals

What decided it

The proposals constitute disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building contrary to paragraph 154(c) of the Framework, causing substantial harm to Green Belt openness which is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.

National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 143Paragraph 153Paragraph 154Paragraph 155
