Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect on openness
- whether the proposal would cause harm to the character and appearance of the area
- whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, including whether there is an essential need for an agricultural worker's dwelling, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The other considerations, including the claimed need for an agricultural worker's dwelling, did not clearly outweigh the harm caused by inappropriate development and loss of openness in the Green Belt.
the harm by reason of inappropriateness and modest loss of openness were not clearly outweighed by other considerations, including the temporary nature of the proposal and the lack of harm to character and appearance, so very special circumstances were not established
