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 and any relevant development plan policies
- whether the appeal site is an acceptable location for the development having regard to the development plan policies
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the rural landscape
- whether the 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 development
What decided it
The Inspector's satisfaction that the appellant was operating a genuine agricultural business from the site, evidenced by livestock, machinery, and a credible Woodland Management Plan, meant the buildings qualified as agricultural buildings under NPPF paragraph 149 and were therefore not inappropriate development in the Green Belt.

- Development plan policies
- Policy EQ4Policy EQ3Policy S1Policy EQ2Policy EQ6
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 149Paragraph 130
