Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt for the purposes of the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework having regard to the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
- Whether or not sufficient information has been provided to assess the impact of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- If the proposal 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 the very special circumstances necessary to justify the proposed development
What decided it
The stable block and ancillary hardstanding exceed the minimum level required for a domestic facility and result in inappropriate development harmful to the Green Belt, with no very special circumstances to justify approval.
