Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the operational development, the erection of stable building and store, 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

What decided it

The stable building, with a footprint of 33 square metres and height of 2.6 metres in a remote open location, undermines the spatial and visual openness of the Green Belt and conflicts with the purpose of safeguarding the countryside from encroachment, and no very special circumstances exist to justify the inappropriate development.
