Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including its effect on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it, having regard to the Framework and the development plan

What decided it

The relatively minor 2-metre increase in building depth would not significantly harm the openness of the Green Belt or conflict with its purposes, particularly when weighed against the fallback position of the already-commenced approved scheme.
