Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework 2021 and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants with particular regard to outlook and external amenity provision
- 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 development constitutes re-use of an existing permanent and substantial building in the Green Belt that preserves openness and does not conflict with Green Belt purposes, and would not harm character, appearance or living conditions.
