Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt under NPPF paragraph 149, and the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and to its openness is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances do not exist.
