Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework, including the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
Whether any harm 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 proposed garages would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm openness, and the limited benefits of providing parking facilities do not amount to very special circumstances sufficient to justify the development.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: CLP Policy GB1
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 148Paragraph 149
