Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework including the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the location of the appeal site within the Chilterns National Landscape
- if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm, by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would clearly be outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the development
What decided it
The substantial weight attached to Green Belt harm by reason of inappropriateness and harm to character and appearance within the National Landscape is not clearly outweighed by the appellant's moderate security concerns and other considerations.
