Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development within the Green Belt
- If deemed inappropriate, the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the locality
- If the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposal represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness and character, with no very special circumstances to justify it.
The harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness, harm to openness, and harm to character and appearance was not outweighed by the material considerations cited in support, and very special circumstances do not exist.
