Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is 'inappropriate development' in terms of Green Belt policies and, if so, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness together with any other harm would be clearly outweighed by other considerations
- If the proposed development is to be categorised as 'not inappropriate', the impact of the proposed development on the surroundings
What decided it
The proposed building amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to outweigh the harm by reason of inappropriateness and the reduction in openness and impact on countryside character.
The harm by reason of inappropriateness and the effect of the building on the character, appearance and openness of the countryside are not outweighed by the benefits of the scheme.
