Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
  • if it is inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances demonstrated to clearly outweigh the inherent harm, contrary to NPPF Section 13 and local Green Belt policies.
