Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development represents inappropriate development within the Green Belt, having regard to local and national planning policy
  • If the development does amount to inappropriate development, the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on living conditions of residents of neighbouring properties
  • If the development does amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether the harm to the Green Belt and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other material considerations, such that very special circumstances exist to warrant a grant of permission

What decided it

The development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness, character and neighbouring living conditions, with no material considerations that clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
