Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development proposed would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including any effect on openness, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be 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 that results in a loss of openness and harm to character and appearance, with no very special circumstances to justify it.
The substantial harm to Green Belt openness and character and appearance was not clearly outweighed by the modest weight of considerations in favour, such as potential screening and biodiversity net gain.
