Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the building is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- Its effect on the character and appearance of the area
- Its effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to any noise or disturbance arising from the development
- Whether any harm due to 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 substantial harm to the Green Belt caused by inappropriate development was not clearly outweighed by the appellants' other considerations, and therefore very special circumstances did not exist to justify the development.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt was not clearly outweighed by the appellants' arguments regarding the building's use for sheep-keeping and family wellbeing, resulting in the appeal being dismissed.
