Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies and the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 would reduce the openness of the Green Belt by introducing substantial built development (eight stables and storage barn) on currently open agricultural land, and the moderate weight of other considerations could not outweigh this substantial harm to justify very special circumstances.
