Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the building and fencing is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant LDF policies
- The effect of the building and fencing on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the building and fencing on the character and appearance of the area
- If the building and fencing is found to be 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 development is inappropriate in the Green Belt and very special circumstances do not exist to justify it, as the harm to openness and character is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
Framework references: 154, 155
