Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the breach of planning control is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including its effect on openness and the purposes of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances
What decided it
The development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness and countryside character, with no very special circumstances identified to justify it.
