Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies, including the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 proposal would reduce the openness of the Green Belt through its siting and massing as a substantial structure in an open field, and the modest private benefits could not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt required to be demonstrated for very special circumstances.
