Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt including the effect of the proposal on its openness
  • 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 necessary to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal would have a greater visual impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing development, constituting inappropriate development for which very special circumstances do not exist.
