Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the outbuilding would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The imposition of condition 3 on the 2003 permission, which withdrew permitted development rights for reasons unrelated to Green Belt harm, combined with the absence of any harm to openness or other considerations, amounted to very special circumstances justifying permission.
