Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and if the development is inappropriate development, the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt resulting in harmful loss of openness, and Framework paragraph 11.d.i provides a clear reason for refusal based on Green Belt protection that is not outweighed by other considerations.
the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, to which substantial weight must be given, was not outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances do not exist
