Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building and, therefore, would represent inappropriate development in the Green Belt. Additionally, the proposal would adversely affect Green Belt openness. Very special circumstances do not exist. Consequently, the proposal would be contrary to Policy SADM34 of the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.
