Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether the works preserve a Grade II listed building, 'Catten Hall Farmhouse and Attached Shippon', and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and whether the works preserve the character and appearance of the area
- Whether 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 is inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm, combined with considerable harm to the listed building's significance and the character and appearance of the area, with insufficient public benefits to constitute very special circumstances.
