Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any development plan policies
- The effect of the appeal development on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the property and the surrounding area
- If the appeal development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations which amount to very special circumstances required to justify a grant of planning permission for the alleged development
What decided it
The development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing harm to openness and character and appearance, and the considerations advanced do not clearly outweigh this harm to constitute very special circumstances.
