Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposed extension on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on protected species
  • if the proposal would be inappropriate development, 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 proposal fails to demonstrate very special circumstances as the substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
