Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the NPPF and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The distinction between development functionally related to the keeping of horses (an appropriate Green Belt use) and development that reduces openness without functional necessity or that constitutes a material change of use to storage unrelated to the equestrian use.
