Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt and on the character and appearance of the area
  • 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 development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt which is harmful by definition, and the modest considerations advanced do not clearly outweigh this harm or the marginal harm to character and appearance.

the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and marginal harm to character and appearance outweighed the modest considerations of security, safety and potential noise reduction
