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
- 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
- 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 does not fall within the agricultural exception to Green Belt policy as the existing approved building provides sufficient space for the current farming operation, and the harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and to character and appearance is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
