Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the proposal on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether any 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 proposal
What decided it
The fence constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt by definition harmful to it, and the other considerations advanced by the appellant do not clearly outweigh this harm to justify very special circumstances.
