Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the residential garden use would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the residential garden use on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the residential garden use on heritage assets
- The effect of the residential garden use on biodiversity
- Whether harm to the Green Belt and any other harm would be clearly outweighed by other considerations to amount to very special circumstances
What decided it
The proposed residential garden use would result in harm to the character and amenity of the area through potential increased noise disturbance and uncertainty about the intensity of use, conflicting with Policy DC6 of the development plan.
