Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal scheme constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect on the rural, open character of the area
- If found to be inappropriate development, whether the harm, by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and the adverse effect on rural character and openness are not clearly outweighed by the temporary storage need, so very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
