Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the development would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies
the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
if it is inappropriate development, 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 it

What decided it

The cumulative effect of the proposed extension combined with existing extensions would be disproportionate to the original building and would not meet the exception under paragraph 154(c) of the Framework, and the other considerations did not clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Spatial Policy 4B
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 154
