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, including the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development with reference to its vulnerability to flooding
- whether any harm to the Green Belt 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 with greater impact on openness than the former stable, and the sequential test for flood risk has not been satisfied, with no very special circumstances to justify the development.
