Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property
- whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that fails to fall within any exception, causes substantial harm to openness and encroachment, and the limited weight given to family circumstances does not clearly outweigh this harm to constitute very special circumstances.
