Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including that of the Cotswold National Landscape and adjacent Cotswold Way National Trail
  • The effect on highway safety and the convenience of users of the adjacent bridleway
  • The effect on the living conditions of nearby occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • If the development 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 development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm that is not outweighed by other considerations, combined with harm to character and appearance, highway safety, bridleway users, and living conditions of neighbours.
