Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would constitute inappropriate development in the MOL, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework
- The impact of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- If found to be inappropriate development, whether the 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 openness of the Metropolitan Open Land would remain preserved if the temporary permission were extended to 10 years, as the compound is modest in scale, discreetly located, and would still be removed at the end of the permission period.
