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, including its effects on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land in it
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- if the proposal is inappropriate, 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 stable building would result in a physical and visual reduction in openness of the Green Belt and encroachment into the countryside, constituting inappropriate development whose inherent harm was not clearly outweighed by other considerations amounting to very special circumstances.
