Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- Its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the scheme is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify it
What decided it
The disproportionate scale of the extensions, particularly the additional height and mass over two storeys, would cause substantial harm to the Green Belt's openness and inappropriateness that could not be clearly outweighed by other considerations.
