Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the building is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- if it is inappropriate development, its effect 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 very special circumstances required to justify the building
What decided it
The building constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt which causes harm to openness that is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify it.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EE14Policy EE17
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 154
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
