Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the Framework, including the effect on openness
If the appeal development 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 it

What decided it

The development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing moderate harm to openness, and the minor economic benefits do not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy NE6
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 147Paragraph 148Paragraph 149
