Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt and if it is, 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 area, including whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of Grade II listed building, Nurstead Hill Farmhouse
- whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The substantial harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, combined with substantial harm to the setting of a Grade II listed building, was not outweighed by any other considerations, and the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development did not exist.
