Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the fence is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • The effect of the fence on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect of the fence on the character and appearance of the area with specific regard to the significance and setting of a listed building
  • Whether, if the fence is inappropriate development, the harm by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances

What decided it

The harms to the Green Belt (inappropriateness and loss of openness) and to the heritage setting and character of the area are not clearly outweighed by the other considerations advanced, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
