Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed developments are inappropriate in the Green Belt, and the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
- if the developments are inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the developments
What decided it
The proposals constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would erode openness and harm character and appearance, with no very special circumstances to justify the harm.
