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 of the proposal on the openness of the Green Belt
Whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, or any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations, so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal

What decided it

The building is inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing harm to openness, and the other considerations advanced by the appellant carry only minor weight and do not clearly outweigh this harm, so very special circumstances do not exist.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy 3 of the Aligned Core Strategies Part 1 Local Plan (2014)
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 142Paragraph 143Paragraph 153Paragraph 154Paragraph 155
