Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development for the purposes of the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt and on the character and appearance of the area
- If the proposal would be 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 it
What decided it
The marginal harm to the openness of the Green Belt and character and appearance of the area, combined with the absence of very special circumstances to outweigh this harm, necessitated dismissal of the appeal.
