Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The cumulative scale of the proposed extensions, together with previous additions, would represent a clearly disproportionate addition to the original building in breach of paragraph 154(c) of the Framework and Policy DM17, and would materially harm the openness of the Green Belt without very special circumstances to justify it.
Framework references: 154
Plan policies cited: Policy DM17, Policy DM1
