Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The development causes a harmful loss of openness to the Green Belt through the introduction of domestic paraphernalia, and no other considerations clearly outweigh this substantial harm to justify very special circumstances.
