Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the NPPF and relevant development plan policies, taking into account its effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the 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 proposal
What decided it
The stable building has not been demonstrated to be the minimum size reasonably required for the operation of the facility in breach of Policy RUR7, as the appellant owns only one horse and previously sought to convert the building to residential use.
Framework references: 154
