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 development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way 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 it
What decided it
The proposed extension represents a disproportionate addition to the original building when considered cumulatively with previous extensions, constituting inappropriate development that harms Green Belt openness, with no very special circumstances to justify it.
