Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the development is inappropriate, whether any 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 it
- Whether a planning obligation is necessary in order for the proposal to accord with relevant planning policies relating to the Green Belt and provision of dwellings in the countryside
What decided it
The demonstrated functional need for an agricultural worker to live permanently on the site to manage the suckler herd operation, given very significant weight, clearly outweighed the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was clearly outweighed by the very significant weight given to the demonstrated need for an agricultural worker's dwelling on the site, establishing very special circumstances to justify the development.
