Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed extension would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and, if so, whether other considerations clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt, and any other harm, so as to amount to very special circumstances.

What decided it

The proposed extension would result in a disproportionate addition to the original building at approximately double its size, constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify approval.
