Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed storage shed qualifies as an extension to existing buildings (the blockwork walls) rather than new building construction, and therefore falls within the exception in paragraph 149(c) of the Framework, making it not inappropriate development in the Green Belt.

- Development plan policies
- Policy 21 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning PoliciesPolicy 10 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 1: Core StrategyPolicy 1 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies
