Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development within the Green Belt
- if deemed inappropriate, the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the locality
- if the development would be inappropriate, whether the harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify it
What decided it
The proposal represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would cause harm to openness and character and appearance, and the fallback position does not amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify it.
