Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and with regard to any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- if found to be inappropriate development, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances to justify the development
What decided it
The very limited harm to Green Belt openness from the low-key design of the access track, fencing and gates is clearly outweighed by the moderate to significant benefit of reducing hardstanding by 37% and the limited positive benefit of improved living conditions through separate property accesses.
