Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the suitability of the access to accommodate the new use
- whether or not 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 proposal
What decided it
The substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt arising from the operational activity and use of the building, combined with harm to character and appearance and access suitability, outweighs the economic benefits and means very special circumstances do not exist to justify inappropriate development.
