Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- 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 proposed development
What decided it
The proposed development would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm to its openness, and the other considerations advanced did not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.

- Development plan policies
- Policy BAS GB4

- Paragraph 137Paragraph 147Paragraph 149Paragraph 148
