Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies
The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
Whether other considerations clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt and any other harm, so as to amount to very special circumstances

What decided it

The extensions constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify approval, as the limited other considerations carry little weight against the substantial harm to the Green Belt.
