Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the garage constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • its effect on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • 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 harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and loss of openness, which carries substantial weight, is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
