Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policies, and the effect it would have on the openness of the Green Belt
  • Whether any 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 required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal would constitute disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building contrary to paragraph 154(c) of the Framework and cause harm to the openness of the Green Belt, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to outweigh this harm.

Framework references: 153, 154, 155

Plan policies cited: Policy DM16, Policy G2, Policy CS1 F, Policy CS1 B
