Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed outbuilding would amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposed outbuilding on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the outbuilding on the character and appearance of the area with regard to trees and the setting of the Grade II listed building
- If the proposed outbuilding would amount to inappropriate development, whether the harm, by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations, such as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposed cart shed would amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt with potential material harm to trees and the setting of a Grade II listed building, and the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development do not exist.
