Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, and if so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed outbuilding would be materially larger than any previous building it sought to replace, failing to meet the replacement exception in paragraph 149(d) of the Framework and constituting inappropriate development in the Green Belt that could not be justified by the minor private benefits offered.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and limited harm to openness were not outweighed by the minor and private benefit of storage and parking, so very special circumstances did not exist.
