Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would represent inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant Development Plan policies
- the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- if the proposed development is inappropriate, 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 proposal
What decided it
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and the significant harm to character and appearance were not clearly outweighed by any other considerations, so very special circumstances necessary to justify the development did not exist.
the substantial harm to the Green Belt and the harm to the character and appearance of the area were not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so the appeal was dismissed
