Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of planning policy set out in the Framework and the development plan
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect on the appearance of the appeal property and the character of the area, including the Shorne Woodland Landscape Character Area
- if the development is 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 development
What decided it
The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that causes harm to openness and character, and the appellant has failed to demonstrate very special circumstances that would clearly outweigh this harm.
