Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would represent inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- if the proposed development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The substantial harm to the Green Belt through inappropriate development and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by the limited weight of other considerations, and very special circumstances were not established.
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations (rural enterprise support, permitted development fallback, and lack of objections), all afforded limited weight, such that very special circumstances did not exist.
