Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt including its effect on openness
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Warren Lodge with particular regard to noise, disturbance and light
- if the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and the modest adverse impact on openness were not clearly outweighed by the identified other considerations, particularly the moderate economic benefits, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development.
