Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework 2019 and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers in terms of noise, general disturbance and privacy
- 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 the development
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness, and the appellant's personal circumstances do not clearly outweigh this harm to establish very special circumstances.
The substantial harm from inappropriateness and loss of openness to the Green Belt was not clearly outweighed by the moderate weight of the appellant's personal circumstances; very special circumstances do not exist.
