Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- If the development is inappropriate development 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 harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and moderate harm to openness and character and appearance are not clearly outweighed by the appellant's security and privacy considerations, so very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
