Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies
  • would the harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposed development would result in a new building in the Green Belt that does not fall within any listed exceptions and would cause significant spatial and visual harm to openness, which is not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
