Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the revised National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies, and the effect on the Openness of the Green Belt
- If the proposed development constitutes inappropriate development in 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 building qualifies as an exception to inappropriate development under Framework paragraph 149a) for buildings for agriculture and forestry, and the appellant demonstrated adequate long-term justification for the building through the updated Business Plan showing viable expansion and diversification of the agricultural enterprise.
