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 and the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- Parking provision
- Whether harm by reason of inappropriateness would be clearly outweighed by other considerations and if so whether those amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would reduce openness, and the moderate benefits identified do not clearly outweigh this substantial harm or the other identified conflicts with the development plan.
