- Perkins L
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: whether the appeal development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt; the effect on openness of the Green Belt; the effect on character and appearance; whether very special circumstances exist to justify the development
- Appeal B: if the Council had refused the application, whether the refusal would have been well-founded
What decided it
Appeal A was dismissed because the harm to the Green Belt through loss of openness from inappropriate development was not clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to constitute very special circumstances; Appeal B was allowed because the outbuilding qualifies as permitted development under Class E of the General Permitted Development Order 2015.
