Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal is inappropriate development for the purposes of the Framework and any other relevant development plan policies
the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
the effect on the character and appearance of the area
if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that does not fall within the exceptions in NPPF paragraph 154, and the limited benefits do not clearly outweigh the substantial harm from inappropriateness combined with moderate harm to character and appearance.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy 57 of the Core StrategyPolicy 51 of the Core Strategy
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 154
