Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the operational development alleged in the enforcement notice is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • Whether the operational development causes any harm other than by reason of inappropriateness
  • Whether there are any material considerations that outweigh the harm by reason of inappropriateness and other harm such that very special circumstances exist
  • Whether the proposed stable block would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • Whether the building would cause any harm other than by reason of inappropriateness

What decided it

The shipping containers and proposed stable building would undermine the openness of the Green Belt and conflict with its purposes, with no very special circumstances advanced to outweigh this harm.
