Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- Its effect on the openness of the Green Belt and on the character and appearance of the area
- If it is inappropriate development, 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 cumulative harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and limited harm to openness was not clearly outweighed by any other considerations, and no very special circumstances were demonstrated.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and limited harm to openness were not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
