Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties with regard to the activities on the site
- Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt with greater impact on openness than existing development, combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions, and no very special circumstances to justify the development.
