Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), including the effect on openness
- The effect of the proposed development on nature conservation
- If the proposed development is inappropriate development, would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, 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 development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with moderate harm to openness, and the personal circumstances and other considerations do not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
