Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the shed/store is inappropriate development in the Green Belt including its effect on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- 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 necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The evidenced need for secure and covered domestic storage for bulky items belonging to site occupiers, combined with limited harm to Green Belt openness and the proportionality considerations regarding Article 8 rights, clearly outweighed the harm from inappropriateness to amount to very special circumstances.
