Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
  • If it is inappropriate development, 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 proposed replacement building would be materially larger than the existing structure and would have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt, constituting inappropriate development for which no very special circumstances exist to justify approval.
