Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies, including the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 proposal
What decided it
The proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt because the extensive works required would go significantly beyond conversion or re-use of a building of permanent and substantial construction, and the personal benefits to the appellant, whilst carrying moderate weight, do not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to the Green Belt.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SS10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 150
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
