Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies including the effect upon the openness of the Green Belt
- if the proposal is found to be inappropriate development, whether other considerations clearly outweigh the harm to the Green Belt and any other harm as to amount to very special circumstances
What decided it
The substantial harm to the spatial openness of the Green Belt caused by the increase in building footprint, height and hardstanding, combined with the failure to demonstrate very special circumstances, rendered the appeal dismissible.
