Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to relevant development plan policies and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- If the proposal would be inappropriate development, 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 it
What decided it
The building is proposed for agricultural use to support the smallholding, which has been accepted by the Council under previous applications and falls within the Framework exception for agricultural buildings, meaning it is not inappropriate development in the Green Belt.
