Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the Green Belt
  • Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, Horseshoe Lodge, and any of the features of special architectural and historic interest that it possesses
  • The effect on highway safety
  • The effect on ecology
  • 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 harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, combined with harm to the listed building's setting and unresolved concerns regarding highway safety and ecology, are not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances have not been demonstrated.
