Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies and any effects upon openness
- The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development upon the safety of highway users, with particular regard to the access arrangements
- Whether or not parking provision would be acceptable
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The development constitutes inappropriate development harmful to Green Belt openness and causes harm to character and appearance and highway safety, with no other considerations clearly outweighing this totality of harm to justify very special circumstances.
