Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- if the proposal is inappropriate development, 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 proposal
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and reduction in openness was not clearly outweighed by the benefits of improved appearance and the fallback position, so very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposal did not exist.
the benefits of improved appearance and the fallback position did not clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and reduction in openness
