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 development plan policy
the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The substantial spatial and visual impact of the containers on Green Belt openness and the significant harm to character and appearance were not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances necessary to justify the development did not exist.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: DS1SC9DS5SC2
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 150Paragraph 147Paragraph 148
