Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the appeal is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is 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 substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and moderate loss of openness was not outweighed by the limited personal and travel-reduction benefits claimed, and very special circumstances did not exist.
The limited private benefits of a home gym and minor travel reduction were outweighed by the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and moderate loss of openness, and very special circumstances were not demonstrated.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GB1 of the South Bucks District Local Plan 1999
- National Planning Policy Framework
