Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations and if so, whether this would amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The substantial weight attached to the harm caused by inappropriate development in the Green Belt and harm to openness, combined with harm to character and appearance, was not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and no very special circumstances were demonstrated to justify the proposal.
