Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any other relevant development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • whether or not the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • 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 proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would cause substantial harm to openness and character, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to justify it.
