Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
  • Would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations, and if so would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The moderate harm to Green Belt openness caused by the inappropriate development was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify the proposal.

What the Inspector cited
