Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to local and national planning policy
  • if it is inappropriate development, its effect on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on the landscape and scenic beauty of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
  • whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, or any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that causes significant harm to the AONB, and the private benefits of additional storage do not constitute very special circumstances to justify the development.
