Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the appeal development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the appeal development

What decided it

The appeal development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that fails to preserve openness and conflicts with Green Belt purposes, and the harm arising from inappropriateness, loss of openness, harm to character and appearance, and harm to living conditions through noise and disturbance is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
