Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effects of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effects of the development upon the character and appearance of the area including the open countryside
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt as a disproportionate extension, and the harm to openness and inappropriateness is not clearly outweighed by other considerations to justify very special circumstances.
