Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt and its purposes
- Whether or not there is any other harm that would result
- Whether or not any other considerations exist and the weight that should be afforded to them
- Whether or not any harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the appeal proposal
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that the proposed dwelling size of 200m² is justified on a business basis and commensurate with the established functional requirements of the enterprise, combined with harm to Green Belt openness, means the very special circumstances necessary to justify inappropriate development do not exist.
