Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of Development Plan policy and the National Planning Policy Framework
The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
If it is inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt 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 cumulative extensions would constitute a disproportionate addition to the original dwelling (115% of original size), making the development inappropriate in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances demonstrated to justify it.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy SS10
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 142Paragraph 152Paragraph 153Paragraph 154
