Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not 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 occupants of surrounding residential properties in terms of outlook and privacy
  • If the development 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 required to justify the development

What decided it

The development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing moderate harm to openness and minor harm to character and appearance, which is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, so very special circumstances do not exist.
