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 of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether any 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 building's use for residential storage and as an estate office means it does not qualify as agricultural development under NPPF paragraph 149, making it inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm to openness that is not outweighed by very special circumstances.
