Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework, and any relevant development plan policy
  • The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • Whether any 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 required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing substantial harm to its openness, and the considerations presented by the appellant did not clearly outweigh this harm to amount to very special circumstances.
