Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to any relevant development plan policies and the National Planning Policy Framework
- if the proposed development is inappropriate development, its effect on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of existing neighbouring properties
- whether the proposal would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety
- if the development is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations that amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with limited but real harm to openness and encroachment into the countryside, combined with uncontrollable potential harm to neighbouring living conditions, and the absence of very special circumstances to justify the development.
