Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the use of the land is inappropriate development in the Green Belt which is harmful by definition
- Whether the development is detrimental to the rural character and appearance of the landscape and to protected trees
- Whether the development is detrimental to highway safety
- Whether the development is likely to have significant effects on European and internationally designated sites
What decided it
The development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial definitional harm and significant harm to character, appearance and trees, with no very special circumstances advanced to outweigh this harm.
