Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- If the development is inappropriate, whether any harm to the Green Belt by way of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that fails to preserve openness and causes unacceptable harm to character and appearance, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to justify it.
