Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on the openness of the Green Belt
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- if the development is inappropriate, whether harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances needed to justify the development
What decided it
The development amounts to inappropriate development in the Green Belt causing harm to openness and character and appearance, with no very special circumstances demonstrated to justify it.
