Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to relevant development plan and national planning policies, taking into account the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the development is inappropriate, would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposed tack room would fail to preserve the openness of the Green Belt due to its volume, height and massing, and the associated visual intrusion from public vantage points, thereby constituting inappropriate development for which no very special circumstances exist.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BDP4Policy BDP15
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 137Paragraph 148Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
