Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposal on matters of highway safety, especially related to the use of the access and parking provision
- 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 constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would cause substantial harm by reason of inappropriateness and moderate harm to openness, character and appearance, and highway safety, which is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
