Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposal on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- Whether or not the site is a suitable location on which to retain the existing static caravan
- The effect of the proposal on the character of the site and its setting
- If the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, 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 proposal
What decided it
The proposal does not harm Green Belt openness or purposes and therefore is not inappropriate development; the minor development plan conflict regarding the static caravan's residential use is outweighed by material considerations supporting rural diversification and the rural economy.
