Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including its effect on the openness of the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
- Whether any 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 development
What decided it
The substantial harm to the Green Belt through inappropriate development and loss of openness, combined with moderate harm to character and appearance, was not clearly outweighed by the fallback position or any other considerations presented.
