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 on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The disproportionate width of the extension relative to the original building, combined with substantial weight given to Green Belt harm, meant that the other considerations put forward did not clearly outweigh the harm identified.
Framework references: 154, 153
