Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development is inappropriate development for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policy
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • if the development is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify it

What decided it

The development is inappropriate in the Green Belt, causes loss of openness and harm to character and appearance, and no very special circumstances exist to justify it.

Framework references: 149, 150
