Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt and the character and appearance of the area
- 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 is inappropriate development in the Green Belt which causes harm to openness and character and appearance, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
