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
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt from the permanent building structure, combined with moderate harm to character and appearance, is not clearly outweighed by the economic and other benefits cited in support.
