Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations and if so, whether this would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The substantial weight given to the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness, combined with harm to character and appearance, was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances did not exist.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness, together with harm to character and appearance, was not clearly outweighed by the private benefits of additional storage and parking, so very special circumstances did not exist to justify the proposal.
