Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the single storey structure is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
  • The effect of the retention of the structure on the openness of the Green Belt
  • Whether the harm caused by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations such that very special circumstances exist

What decided it

The single storey structure is inappropriate development in the Green Belt as it is materially larger than the garage it replaced, it harms the openness of the Green Belt, and no very special circumstances exist to outweigh this harm.
