Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to relevant development plan policies and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt and the purposes of including land within it
- If the proposal would be 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 it
What decided it
The proposal would not amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt because the proposed agricultural activities fall within the statutory definition of agriculture and the building is modest in scale and proportionate to the land proposed as a paddock.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 21 of the Rushcliffe Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies (October 2019)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 154
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
