Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the scheme is inappropriate development and the effect of the proposal on the openness and the purposes of including land in the Green Belt
- The effect of the scheme on highway safety
- Whether or not the appeal scheme would lead to surface water flooding in the local area
What decided it
The limited scale, footprint and volumetric impact of the proposed structures, combined with their location close to the site edge and screening by hedges, meant they preserved Green Belt openness and fell within Framework exceptions for agricultural and outdoor recreation buildings.
