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
- 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 result in a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing development and would constitute inappropriate development that could not be justified by very special circumstances.
