Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • If the proposal is inappropriate development, 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 it

What decided it

The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances did not exist to justify the development.
