Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area
  • if the proposed development would be inappropriate development, 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 it

What decided it

The proposal results in disproportionate additions to the original building (87% volumetric increase), constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt, and the harm arising from this inappropriateness and loss of openness is not clearly outweighed by other considerations including the fallback position and limited economic benefits.
