Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the setting of the nearby listed building, West Scholes House and Cottage
- If the development is inappropriate, 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 the development
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and erosion of openness, combined with significant harm to character and appearance and the setting of the listed building, is not clearly outweighed by the private security benefits claimed, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
