Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: Whether the matters alleged have occurred as a matter of fact and whether they constitute a breach of planning control
- Appeal B: Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies, including an assessment of the effect on the openness of the Green Belt; the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area; and if the 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 required to justify the development
What decided it
The development failed to preserve the openness of the Green Belt, which is an essential characteristic, and caused significant harm to character and appearance that was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to character and appearance was not clearly outweighed by other considerations (improved access, drainage, continued equestrian use); very special circumstances did not exist.
