Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the proposal is inappropriate development within the Green Belt for the purposes of the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policy, including the effect of the development on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal 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 harms openness and character, and no very special circumstances exist to justify it.
