Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023) and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- 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 necessary to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt with a greater impact on openness than the existing development, and the other considerations would not clearly outweigh this harm and the harm to character and appearance to amount to very special circumstances.
