Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Would harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations. If so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed building would cause a significant loss of openness of the Green Belt and would not fall within the exceptions in NPPF paragraph 149, making it inappropriate development that cannot be justified by the limited other considerations advanced.
