Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the additions proposed would result in inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area
- If the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances
What decided it
The Unilateral Undertaking restricting lawful extensions under Certificates of Lawfulness, combined with a condition withdrawing permitted development rights, would maintain Green Belt openness and prevent more discordant alternatives from being implemented, thereby constituting very special circumstances.
