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 effect of previous extensions and the proposed extension, representing disproportionate additions to the original building, constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that cannot be justified by very special circumstances.
