Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • The 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 the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would result in loss of openness, and the appellant's need for the storage building carries only limited weight and does not clearly outweigh this identified harm.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy P17
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 154
