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
- Whether any 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 effect of existing and proposed extensions would constitute disproportionate additions to the original building, resulting in inappropriate development in the Green Belt that cannot be justified by the absence of very special circumstances.
