- The effect of the proposed development on parking provision and highway safety
- The effect of the proposed development 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 proposed development
What decided it
The proposed development would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would result in harmful loss of openness, and the identified harm would not be outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify permission.
