Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the outbuilding constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
  • 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 outbuilding constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing material harm to openness, and the other considerations do not clearly outweigh this substantial harm to justify very special circumstances.
