Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies having regard to the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- If the development is inappropriate development, whether any 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 causes harm to the openness of the Green Belt and does not fall within the NPPF paragraph 149(b) exception, and the harm to the Green Belt is not clearly outweighed by other considerations to justify very special circumstances.
