Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the hardstanding and the use constitute inappropriate development, having regard to the effect on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt, the Framework and the Development Plan
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify granting permission for the unauthorised development
What decided it
The hardstanding and use fail to preserve Green Belt openness and constitute inappropriate development for which no very special circumstances exist to justify permission.
