Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the operational development alleged in the enforcement notice is inappropriate development in the Green Belt

  • Whether there are any material considerations that outweigh the harm by reason of inappropriateness and to openness such that very special circumstances exist

What decided it

The operational development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that undermines openness and conflicts with national policy, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to justify approval.
