Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and development plan policy
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area and, if there would be harm, whether that harm would be outweighed by the agricultural or forestry need for the building

What decided it

The development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the countryside that was not outweighed by the agricultural need demonstrated, contrary to Policy CO of the Local Plan.

Framework references: 152, 154, 180

Plan policies cited: Policy CO of the Purbeck Local Plan Part 1 (2012), Policies 1 and 2 of the Lytchett Matravers Neighbourhood Plan (2017)
