Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including its effect on openness, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- If the proposal 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 development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that harms openness and character, and the appellant has failed to demonstrate very special circumstances that would clearly outweigh this substantial harm.
