Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to any relevant development plan policies, the National Planning Policy Framework and the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the development upon the character of the area
- If the development does amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt, whether the harm to the Green Belt 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 development fails to preserve the openness of the Green Belt due to its significantly enlarged footprint, volume and height compared to the approved scheme, and the ancillary facilities are disproportionate to the stabling provision with insufficient justification for their scale.
Framework references: 154
