Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any other relevant development plan documents
if the development is inappropriate, 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 proposal

What decided it

The proposal would reduce the openness of the Green Belt through its greater visual and spatial impact compared to existing outbuildings, and the other considerations did not clearly outweigh this substantial harm.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy SWDP 2
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 137Paragraph 147Paragraph 148Paragraph 149
