Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt and the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes it serves, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- If the proposal is inappropriate development, would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The proposal would cause harm to the openness of the Green Belt and encroach on countryside, and the other considerations advanced do not clearly outweigh this substantial harm to justify very special circumstances.
