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 and any relevant development plan policies
  • The effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
  • If the development is inappropriate, 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 development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing harm to openness, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
