Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and locality
- 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 proposal
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would substantially harm openness and character and appearance, with no very special circumstances identified to outweigh this harm.
