Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be inappropriate in the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way 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 stable building does not constitute permanent and substantial construction, rendering the development inappropriate in the Green Belt, and the domestication of the site would harm openness, with no very special circumstances to justify this harm.
