Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal represents an inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the development upon the openness of the Green Belt
- if the development is inappropriate, 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 the development
What decided it
The development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm its openness, and the limited weight afforded to other considerations does not clearly outweigh this harm, so very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
