Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development comprises inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the use on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the overnight storage and repair of vehicles associated with a haulage business on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of dwellings on Mill Way with particular regard to light, noise and disturbance
- Whether the use affects the setting of the listed building at Bushey Hall Farm
- 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 required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to its openness and purposes, which is not clearly outweighed by other considerations sufficient to demonstrate very special circumstances.
