Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- The effect of the fencing and gates on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect on the significance of the Grade II* Registered Park and Garden at the RHS Gardens, Wisley
- Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The substantial weight to be given to Green Belt harm and heritage harm to the Registered Park and Garden was not clearly outweighed by the modest benefits to business security and highway safety.
