Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the proposal would affect the setting and significance of the Barnt Green Conservation Area
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that harms openness and conflicts with Green Belt purposes, and the appellant's storage needs do not amount to very special circumstances that clearly outweigh this harm.

- Development plan policies
- Policy BDP4Policy BDP20
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149Paragraph 150Paragraph 137Paragraph 138Paragraph 195Paragraph 72
