Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework, including the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether any 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 proposal
What decided it
The domestication of the land and urbanising effect resulting from residential use would have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing stables, and this substantial harm was not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GB1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 148Paragraph 149Paragraph 147
