Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt and the effect on openness
  • whether or not there is any other harm that would result from the appeal proposal
  • whether or not any harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The appeal proposal preserves the openness of the Green Belt and does not conflict with the purposes of the Green Belt designation, therefore it is not inappropriate development and no very special circumstances are required to justify it.
