Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having specific regard to the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
  • whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
