Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
- 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 cumulative harm to Green Belt openness and the character and appearance of the National Landscape, to which substantial and great weight respectively must be given, was not clearly outweighed by the moderate benefits of providing staff accommodation.
