Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- 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 proposal
What decided it
The building qualifies as a forestry building under NPPF paragraph 149(a) exception to inappropriate development in the Green Belt, as the appellants operate an established forestry business and the building would be used for forestry purposes including storage of equipment and timber seasoning, regardless of the geographic location of the building relative to woodland.
Framework references: 149
