Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework, including any relevant effects on the openness of the Green Belt, and with regard to any relevant development plan policies
- If the development is inappropriate, whether or not any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The development causes substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt and no very special circumstances exist to justify it, as the benefits claimed by the appellant do not clearly outweigh the harm.
Plan policies cited: Policy S11, Policy DM6
