Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policy, including the effect of the proposal on the openness and purpose of the Green Belt
- The effect of the design of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- If the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that significantly reduces openness and harms character and appearance, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
