Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of removing the condition on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of removing the condition on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
- whether any 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
Development under Classes A (Part 1), E (Part 1) and A (Part 2) of the GPDO would cause substantial harm to Green Belt openness and the rural character and appearance of the site, which cannot be outweighed by other considerations.
