Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to any relevant development plan policies and the National Planning Policy Framework
  • the effect of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposal on protected species, with specific regard to bats
  • on the basis that the proposal would be inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances required to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt that would harm its openness, and the limited personal circumstances of the appellant do not amount to very special circumstances sufficient to justify the development.
