Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt and the effect of it on the openness of the Green Belt
- whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building known as "Lunds" and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- if the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether the harm by reason of its 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 proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would reduce openness and would fail to preserve the Grade II listed building, with no very special circumstances or significant public benefits to justify the substantial and considerable harm caused.
