Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations (and if so, whether this would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal)
What decided it
The substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt caused by the significant increase in built form and visual intrusion was not outweighed by the limited material considerations in support, meaning the very special circumstances necessary to justify inappropriate development in the Green Belt did not exist.
