Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • The effect on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the host building and area
  • Whether the harm to the Green Belt 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 development

What decided it

The development amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness and character and appearance, with no significant benefits to outweigh these harms.
