Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- if it is, its effect on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on the landscape character of the area
- whether other considerations clearly outweigh harm to the Green Belt, and any other harm, so as to amount to very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing significant harm to openness and landscape character, with no very special circumstances to justify it.
