Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and the harm to openness would be clearly outweighed by other considerations and if so, whether this would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify granting planning permission for the appeal building
- Whether the time for complying with the requirements of the notice is unreasonably short
What decided it
The absence of a realistic fallback position and the failure of other considerations to clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt meant very special circumstances did not exist to justify the inappropriate development.
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and adverse effect on openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and no very special circumstances were found to justify the development.
