Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development 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 proposed development upon the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposed development would be inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The cumulative effect of the proposed extension in doubling the original building footprint constitutes disproportionate and inappropriate development in the Green Belt, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to outweigh the substantial harm.
