Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt and the effect on its openness
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring residential properties due to noise disturbance from barking
- Whether any harm by inappropriate development, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that harms openness and would continue to cause noise disturbance to neighbouring residents, with no very special circumstances to justify the development.

- Policy DM.22Policy SP.33
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 152Paragraph 154
