Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies, taking into account its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- If the development is inappropriate, 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 the development
What decided it
The substantial and harmful eroding effect on the spatial openness of the Green Belt and conflict with the Green Belt purpose of safeguarding the countryside from encroachment, combined with the absence of very special circumstances to justify inappropriate development, led to dismissal of the appeal.
