Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposed development on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding 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 the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The proposed development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, as the harm by reason of inappropriateness and other identified harms to openness and character are not clearly outweighed by other considerations.
Framework references: 154, 142, 135
