Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt, including any associated light spillage
- whether the harm arising by reason of inappropriateness, together with any other identified harm, would be clearly outweighed by other material considerations to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposed development
What decided it
The scale, number and form of the lighting columns would not amount to a disproportionate addition to the approved canine training arena, resulting in very limited impact on Green Belt openness and therefore not constituting inappropriate development.
