Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt and the effect on its openness
- In appeal B the effect on protected species particularly bats
- If inappropriate development, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances
What decided it
The log cabin and garage in Appeal A, and the arena extension and viewing barn in Appeal B, all fall within the exceptions to inappropriate development in the Green Belt under paragraphs 154 and 155 of the Framework, preserving openness and not conflicting with Green Belt purposes.
