Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • if the proposal would be 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 necessary to justify it

What decided it

The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and reduction in openness, combined with harm to character and appearance, is not clearly outweighed by the moderate private benefits of increased security and privacy, so very special circumstances do not exist.
