Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on the special landscape area, including the setting of the village of Collingham
- whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The development fails to preserve the openness of the Green Belt and causes substantial harm to landscape character and the village setting, which is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist.
