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 increase in building scale since 1948, when combined with the proposed extension, represents disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building, constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt that cannot be justified by the modest benefits offered.
