Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- other considerations
- if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The substantial weight given to harm by reason of inappropriateness and significant harm to openness of the Green Belt was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances do not exist.
The harm by reason of inappropriateness and significant harm to openness of the Green Belt was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, which included the absence of harm to character and appearance and compliance with Policy DP14 criteria.
