Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the Green Belt's openness and the area's character and appearance
- 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 required to justify development
What decided it
The development comprises inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no demonstrated very special circumstances to justify it, as the private benefits to the Dog Inn are not clearly outweighed by other considerations and do not constitute local transport infrastructure.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness was not clearly outweighed by the limited and unsubstantiated private benefits claimed for the Dog Inn's operation.
