Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed outbuilding on the openness of the Green Belt
  • Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances to justify it

What decided it

The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and moderate harm to openness, to which substantial weight must be given, were not clearly outweighed by the limited other considerations identified.
