Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies and the purposes of including land within the Green Belt
  • The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • If the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The substantial harm from inappropriateness and the harm to Green Belt openness/purposes were not clearly outweighed by the appellant's offer to demolish the original stables, so very special circumstances did not exist.

The moderate benefit from removing the original timber stables was outweighed by the substantial weight given to the harm from inappropriateness and the moderate harm to openness and Green Belt purposes, so the balance tipped against the development.
