Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- if the proposal would be 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 it
What decided it
The considerable enhancement to the character and appearance of the building and area, which attracts very substantial weight and clearly outweighs the identified harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and openness.
