Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development within the Metropolitan Green Belt for the purposes of the Framework, having regard to the nature of the development and its effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- The location of the proposal, with specific reference to its Area of Multiple Environmental Sensitivity (AMES) designation
- If the proposed development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt, would the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, be clearly outweighed by other considerations, and would this amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The proposal would constitute inappropriate development harmful to the Green Belt by reducing openness and changing the agricultural character of the site, with no very special circumstances to justify approval.
