Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the proposal would adversely affect protected species and their habitats
- If the proposal amounts to inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, along with any other harm resulting from the proposal, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development do not exist.
The harm by reason of inappropriateness and harm to the openness of the Green Belt was not clearly outweighed by the arguments advanced by the appellant, resulting in dismissal.
