Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether or not the proposal would be acceptable in terms of fire safety
- 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 substantial weight attached to the inappropriate development in the Green Belt, which exceeds the 20% extension threshold in Policy DM26, was not clearly outweighed by other considerations and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify the proposal.

- Policy G2Policy DM26Policy DM10Policy D12
