Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework, including any relevant effects on the openness of the Green Belt and with regard to any development plan policies
- the effect of the development on an Area of High Landscape Value
- if inappropriate, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness 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 absence of convincing evidence that the existing agricultural shed is in the same use as proposed, combined with the substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt caused by the siting and size of the building away from the farm complex, means very special circumstances do not exist to justify the inappropriate development.
