Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant Development Plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the proposal would comply with the Council's strategy for agricultural development, including its effect on the character and appearance of the area
- if the proposal is inappropriate, 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 constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, as the harm from inappropriateness, loss of openness, and damage to character and appearance is not clearly outweighed by the limited private benefits to the appellant.
