Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the site, streetscene and local area
  • The effect of the development on highway safety
  • Would harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations. If so, would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development?

What decided it

The development causes substantial harm to the Green Belt, character and appearance, and highway safety which is not outweighed by any other considerations, but the enforcement notice was varied to allow modification to comply with permitted development limitations as a less onerous alternative to complete removal.
