- Inspector
- Eggleton P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would amount to inappropriate development within the Green Belt
- Whether there would be any other harm to the Green Belt
- 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 the development
What decided it
The cumulative 77% increase in building volume over the original structure, taken with previous extensions, constitutes disproportionate additions that cannot be justified by the limited other considerations advanced, failing to demonstrate the very special circumstances required for Green Belt development.
