Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the appearance of the building and its siting
- Would harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations. If so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness, and the other considerations cited did not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
