Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, taken together with the previous extensions, would cumulatively result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building. Therefore, the proposal would amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt. The proposal would also result in further harm by loss of openness. Very special circumstances have not been identified that would clearly outweigh the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and other harm. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy GBR1 of the East Herts District Plan (2018) and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
