Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect of the development on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- whether or not the 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 harm to the openness of the Green Belt caused by the domestic and commercial nature of the holiday let use, combined with significant harm to the character and appearance of the National Landscape, outweighs the identified benefits and means very special circumstances do not exist.
