Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including its effect on openness, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- If the proposal is 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 substantial harm to Green Belt openness and inappropriateness of the development was not clearly outweighed by the economic and equine welfare benefits, as the business case was inadequately demonstrated and very special circumstances were not established.
