Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether or not the portacabin and secure storage units constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt
the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
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 development?

What decided it

The portacabin and secure storage units constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt with a greater impact on openness than pre-existing development, and the harm to the Green Belt is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.

What the Inspector cited

National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 148Paragraph 149
