Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be inappropriate in the Green Belt
- 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
- if the development would be inappropriate, whether 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 it
What decided it
The development would be inappropriate in the Green Belt causing significant harm to openness, and the other considerations advanced in favour do not clearly outweigh this harm or demonstrate the very special circumstances necessary to justify approval.
