Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would, by reason of its size, siting and cumulative impact when taken with previous extensions, result in a disproportionate addition over and above the size of the original building. The development therefore constitutes inappropriate development within the Green Belt. In accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework, such development is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt. The proposal would also result in additional harm to the openness of the Green Belt through the introduction of further built form into an otherwise undeveloped part of the site. No very special circumstances have been demonstrated that would clearly outweigh the harm identified.

From the council's decision notice.
