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 policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether or not emissions from the proposal could be properly dealt with
- 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 appeal development qualified as a permitted exception under Framework paragraph 154d as a replacement building in the same use that was not materially larger, and therefore was not inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
