Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to any relevant development plan policies and the National Planning Policy Framework
The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the building and the area
If the development is inappropriate, 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 proposal

What decided it

The proposed two-storey extension would be scaled proportionately in relation to the existing dwelling and would not result in disproportionate additions, therefore the proposal would not be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and no very special circumstances test was required.
