Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies and the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposal is 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 the development
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt which is, by definition, harmful and should not be approved except in very special circumstances, which do not exist in this case.

- Policy EN2

- Paragraph 147Paragraph 148Paragraph 149Paragraph 150
