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 of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and setting of the listed building
- 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 containers constitute a permanent building causing substantial harm to Green Belt openness and character with no very special circumstances to justify approval, whereas the hardstanding has negligible impact on the Green Belt and complies with relevant policies.
Plan policies cited: CS Policy 51, CS Policy 57, CS Policy 58
