Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether 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 character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on protected trees
- The effect of the development on highway safety
- 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 development represents inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to openness and conflicting with Green Belt purposes, with no very special circumstances to justify it.
